Sustaining Strength


        
"If you saturate your mind with positive thoughts,  it will sustain you in any situation."Lailah Gifty Akita




Distinction between our original thoughts and emotions absorbed from others, will assist us in maintaining a positive outlook.  People can only make us unhappy if we allow them to penetrate us.  Boundaries need to be flexible to allow ourselves the ability to expand or retract, but they need to be strong enough to hold our own in the presence of overbearing or negative people.

In our heart, we may feel strong as we accept our limitations.  We grow stronger as we heighten our strong points.  We learn to be comfortable in any situation as we have developed the ability to discern between our personal makeup and the emotions of others.

While others choose to be unhappy or focused on drama, we can respect their space and still disengage.  Kindness allows the others to speak, but respect for the self nudges us to resist negative energy.  If we develop a strong sense of kindness in our heart, we can move smoothly through most any situations.
