How Tired Are You?

Are you tired of the constant excuses? Excuses from people who seem to know what to say to get out of a tight jam. Smooth talkers/gift of gab? People that make excuses on a regular basis about things they need to change but don’t. The manipulators. Year after year no growth, no change or elevation in any area of their life. Same behavior, same mindset. The complacent. People who end up in sticky situations but somehow get out of them. Say they will change but only temporarily and sometimes not at all. Lucky ones. In a relationship with someone you’re constantly bumping heads with, arguing over things that won’t matter tomorrow or next week only to hear them say they’re sorry and they won’t do it again and a month later it’s more of the same. Liars.  Perhaps you’re tired of surrounding yourself with people that need to stop acting and reacting in the manner they do but tell you they know what they need to do but still don’t do it anyway. Deniers. Shift the heat off them by criticizing or using others as an example. Hypocrites.  

Have you come to a point where you no longer want to associate yourself with them? You don’t want to talk to them, be around them or continue any involvement? In some cases, it can easily be done and for others it can’t. You simply have no other option but to deal with them. So, you’re left with one option, find ways to handle it. So, what do you do? You become bold by speaking up and calling them out on their mess. You start to exercise silence and listen to the ignorance that comes out of their mouth. Thinking to yourself if they only knew how unintelligent they sound they would be quiet. You start to question if something is wrong with you for not seeing it sooner and for being caught up. This is for family members, past relationships and situationships.

What you’re experiencing is growth. You have outgrown that person and that situation. You’ve set healthy boundaries to protect you and you value yourself and your happiness. You realize you can’t expect much from people because they aren’t on the journey you’re on so therefore they don’t get it like you get it. The obvious is not obvious to them. They haven’t taken the blinders off yet. Still running around the same circle with no end expecting a different result. They are entangled in a web of constant excuses that will ultimately dismantle everything good in their life. But don’t worry, eventually life will force them to take out the thorn in their eyes causing them not to see.

Stepping into your purpose with a purpose will cause you to see far beyond what you’d expect and see things clearer. Your perspective elevates. You’ll protect your peace more. You’ll become comfortable with saying no and leaving well enough alone. You’ll walk into and embrace what’s for you and not think twice about what’s not. When you step into the favor placed over your life others will see the grace upon & within you. Don’t worry about the time in between it takes others to realize the obvious. Understand they will in due time. Keep your focus. When you become tired of the excuses you’ll know, and you won’t have to worry about your handling of the situation because it will come naturally. When you’ve become tired, it simply means you’ve outgrown a person, place or thing and the situation. It means you value yourself, your time, space, boundaries, beliefs, and peace. The decision to make a change is easy but actions associated to that change are not. The question is how tired are you?
