What YOU Allow Will Continue?
This quote popped up into my news feed on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter. It is a week before my 43rd birthday and I can admit it seems as if I am a hamster on a wheel. Running but going nowhere at all, the story of my life and now I am aiming for a destination. It hit me a change needed to happen and it is time to make it. I am making a clean sweep, renovating my life and removing the mess.
It isn’t easy, and quite painful to say goodbye to old habits, negative people you love, and putting my teenage children in check. I’m letting my voice roar, moving forward, and even while my knees shake demanding respect. I’m restoring order in my life,home & getting to my peace.
At forty three I am getting no younger and it is time to live my life like it’s golden. No more complaining and not fixing the problem. No more breaking my own rules to please ungrateful people. I am standing up and speaking out.
I’m breaking chains of belief that my children will stop loving me because I said No. Tolerating their friends though I don’t like them. I am the commander of chief in my home. My rules and regulations because I pay a hefty cost to be the boss. If I allow it then it will manifest into a mess.
Let me say again the adjustment isn’t easy. Yesterday, I took the step and yes tears were shed but I was taken seriously. I made my expectations cleared. I am Momma hear me roar.
Next, I’ve made the decision to charge what I am worth. To stop settling for chump change and make a living. My time and energy is valuable. Charging below means I’m settling for less. It doesn’t increase my bottom line.
Lastly, the decisions I make I can’t back down from. All too often I neglect me to benefit my family. I tolerate their behaviors so I won’t be considered the bore or bitter woman. I have to protect my best interest. Claim stake in my life, my family and home yes, but it doesn’t mean not fulfilling my wants and needs.
To let opinions of others block me. No more allowing the same things o continue.
