Wise Words
These words from actor Anthony Hopkins are brutal:
Let go of people who aren't ready to love you.
This is the hardest thing you will ever have to do in your life and it will also be the most important thing.
Stop having difficult conversations with people who don’t want to change.
Stop showing up for people who have no interest in your presence.
I know your instinct is to do everything you can to gain the appreciation of those around you, but it's an impulse that steals your time, energy, mental and physical health.
When you start fighting for a life with joy, interest and commitment, not everyone will be ready to follow you to that place.
That doesn't mean you have to change who you are, it means you have to let go of people who aren't ready to be with you.
If you are excluded, insulted, forgotten or ignored by the people you give your time to, you are not doing yourself a favor by continuing to offer them your energy and your life.
Truth is, you're not for everyone and not everyone is for you.
This is what makes it so special when you find people that you have friendship or love matched.
You will know how precious it is because you've experienced what it isn't.
There are billions of people on this planet and a lot of them you will find at your level of interest and commitment.
Maybe if you stop showing up, they won't look for you.
Maybe if you stop trying, the relationship ends.
Maybe if you stop texting, your phone will stay dark for weeks.
That doesn't mean you ruined the relationship, it means the only thing that was holding it was the energy that only you gave to keep it.
That's not love, that's attachment.
It's giving a chance to those who don't deserve it!
You deserve so much more.
The most valuable thing you have in your life is your time and energy as both are limited.
The people and things you give your time and energy to, will define your existence.
When you realize this you start to understand why you’re so anxious when you spend time with people, activities or spaces that don’t suit you and shouldn’t be near you.
You’ll start to realize that the most important thing you can do for yourself and everyone around you, is to protect your energy more fiercely than anything else.
Make your life a safe haven, in which only people "compatible" with you are allowed.
You are not responsible for saving anyone.
It's not your responsibility to convince them to improve.
It's not your job to exist for people and give them your life!
You deserve real friendships, true commitments, and complete love with healthy, prosperous people.
Deciding to distance yourself from harmful people, will give you the love, esteem, happiness and protection you deserve.
To this, I Lonn Dugan Add, When you are focused on the positive, and surrounded by people who support you instead of tear you down, you will accomplish the GREAT THINGS that you were born to accomplish. Otherwise, you will be stuck in a rut of OTHER PEOPLE'S making. Don't do that. Really. Make your own way and surround yourself with people who will support you in that effort! Leave the others behind. Hard? Yes. Necessary? Yes. Even Jesus of Nazareth left people behind. Want to know more? Just ask.

Social media is popular with children and teenagers. It's a great way to stay connected with friends and family, but it can also be a dangerous place. Predators can use social media to contact and groom potential victims, and children can be exposed to inappropriate content. So, how can we keep our children safe on social media?At Safesocialonline.com children age 6 - 17 must be enrolled by a parent. No other adults can see a child's account, and children cannot see other adult accounts. This way we eliminate the threat of predatory users. If a child posts something inappropriate the parent is notified so a conversation can take place to guide the child on appropriate language and content.
How did you observe the 20th anniversary of 9/11? Was this event overshadowed by results of US withdrawal from Afghanistan? We held the Taliban off for 20 years, but really only stopped them for 1 week. It was a sad day when terrorists flew planes into buildings, and a sad day when the Taliban took back over. I will always remember the first responders who paid the ultimate price with their lives or their health!
When you “like” something on Facebook, your interests are sold to online advertisers so they know which ads to show you. Gmail reads your emails to choose ads to show you. Google Maps provides your location to nearby advertisers.Big Data companies scour your online behavior and sell this information. Did you search for information about a new prescription? Advertisers now know about your medical conditions. Did you research a mental health issue? Advertisers now know about your family problems. Did you search for the best price on disposable diapers? Big Data now knows you have a new baby, and where you live. This has to stop. That is why Safe Social Online was created. Your activi
"Real leaders are happy to zig while others zag. They understand that in an era of hyper-competition and non-stop disruption, the only way to stand out from the crowd is to stand for something special. They don't follow where the path may lead, they go instead where there is no path and leave a trail". "Bill Taylor, and Ralph Waldo Emerson."
Wisdom benefits those who see the sun therefore, everyday is a good day when you can talk about it. No matter if you feel it is Good, or Bad. To be able to talk about it means it is a good day. Just think about those that have had problems and can't ever talk to you about them again!
