Having The Strength To Stand Alone

There are those who wish to bind us with their words. Do not let them have control of your mind, body, and spirit. We have the strength to withstand most, but those who we are the most vulnerable to, we will bend to their will. It's not out of anger or spite that they extend their wishes upon us but it is because they are comforted and feel secure that we have their best in mind. But when does the comfort of another take precedence over our safety. These are not children we speak of, for they do need our protection. We are speaking of those like us who have the ability to stand tall for themselves. Be cautious when giving yourself to another for not all have your best interest in mind. Today, guard yourself from those who take advantage of your good nature. You are to walk alone on your journey, with the universe and the spirit within you as your guides. Listen carefully and you will be directed as to what is your next step. If you are not hearing them, then you are listening to the ill advice of others. Do not wander too far, else you will get lost.

It's hard to decide which way to go, if you don't know where you're going...

(I am so used to being in mother mode, that I tend to extend my support to those who may not even be asking for help. I guess that's the dilemma. By helping others too much, am I taking away their ability to stand on their own. How much is too much help? Another thing to think about.)
