Other people tend to demand things from us without thinking about the impact it has on your life!

I have a friend that has a bother and it seems that everything is done according to his demands and when he wants it done, anyone in your life like this?

Little does he even know that his actions create drama for everyone involved and no consideration for anyone else or ask if that would be ok.

There are givers and takers

Demanders and requesters

Passive aggressive and aggression

Kindness and inconsiderate

Selfless and selfish

I’m sure I’m missing others but the idea of how life is doesn’t change no matter what the opposite is.

Let’s start with the giver, requesters, kind and selfless.

I watch as the giver takes all that is given not to say it doesn’t bother them, but they vent to others about the problem but not to the problem person who causes the drama!

This is where the change has to start with the giver most times looked upon as the weak one in the situation, but reality is the strong one who can put aside the drama to see what’s best for the situation is the giver!

Do you see this as a strength or a weakness?

Is it better to address the cause of the drama or just overlook their actions?

I’ve been in both shoes of belief to address the drama causer and to just overlook it, depending on the impact it makes on others around me and myself.

Remember you have to love yourself and believe in yourself before you make a decision on others’ opinions that they demand of you; they are demanding not asking or requesting and time lines depend on what’s convenient for them not you.

As my friend takes care of the dad all the time and had taken care of the mother with little help from that brother and then you have the sister-in-law who always chimes in from the background about respect, etc.… When it puts them at an inconvenience.

Any flags coming up in your life?

Avoid this in any way you can to prevent destruction of self and self-worth.

How do we value ourselves?

How do we love ourselves?

How do we view ourselves?

How do we think others see us?

All these thoughts and questions should be answered by you!

Please be kind and thoughtful of others and try a request with love and respect.

Like the saying goes, you get more with honey than you do with sour!

Live well God bless you and thanks for visiting the planet.
