You Won't Bring Me Down!!

Isn't it funny that when you start succeeding in life and things start falling into place that others around you start to cause drama and try and bring you down to their level?  My heart is full of sadness that those who are trying to bring me down can't see beyond their own misery.  You can't bring someone down to your level who doesn't view the world as you do.  Those who are weak must hang on to those that are strong in order to hold themselves up and normally I would be happy to hold them up, but enough is enough.  I'm living for my son and myself.  Period.  I hope and pray that those individuals who are so miserable with who they are and where they are in life find their way to true happiness;  the happiness that isn't bought with fancy clocks and the latest trends.  I hope they find their inner self and learn to love and accept themselves for who they are no matter what life hands them.  I have by no means lived an easy or glamorous life.  I've made plenty mistakes, some I'm proud of and some I'm not.    Some individuals like to remind me of how I've struggled or lived less than, but their jealousy and hatred only hurts them.  They don't realize that that jealousy and hatred is only holding them back from growing and being happy.  And all of my mistakes?  It's because of these mistakes that I'm so much stronger and wiser.  I have compassion for those who struggle, love for those who hurt and hope for those who try.

May we all free our hearts of hatred, greed, pride, jealousy, anger and hate and make room for love, compassion, joy, forgiveness, and hope.

May we learn to truly love our neighbor....for those who won't allow us to, may we have the strength to move on with our lives without them and hope that through our example they'll find their way back.

Thank you to all those who have and continue to support and inspire me to try harder every day!!

Love,
Lissa
