I saw this quote and was like Woe! That has to really suck.
To make someone the villain in your story, only to look up and realize their life keeps moving forward while yours keeps repeating the same patterns.
Life has taught me that I don’t have to correct every rumor, change people’s perception of me, or match the energy somebody gives me.
And please don’t confuse that with me not knowing how. 😂 My ego is BIG, and being disrespected or mistreated used to have me wanting to remind you real quick who you’re playing with.
But healing has shifted me completely away from that.
If I’m being honest, I rarely have villains in my story anymore.
I have people who reveal things to me, expose patterns I still need to work on, & sometimes…people who teach me lessons I probably wouldn’t have chosen to learn on my own.
Even when someone does me “wrong”, eventually I’m going to turn the mirror back toward myself.
Maybe you’ve been so focused on what they did wrong that you haven’t stopped long enough to ask how YOU showed up.
Were you actually a good friend?
Did you pour back into the people who constantly poured into you?
Did you take accountability when you caused hurt?
Or did you make someone the villain because it was easier than looking at yourself?
Self-awareness will make you ask questions your ego doesn’t want to answer.
Sometimes the other person wasn’t perfect either. But maybe the difference is that they were willing to look at themselves, apologize, forgive, make corrections, and keep moving with love instead of spending their energy trying to prove you were wrong.
Pay attention to the fruit, Because the fruit always speaks.
Eventually life has a way of revealing what our patterns are producing. The question is do we see them?
