be true to yourself

When you offer to help someone and be there for them on a daily basis, and they reject you, its not about whether or not you did the right thing - because you did. You can't change who you are for someone else, and if it is in your nature to be giving and loving, people will have to deal with that. If you go out of your way to show kindness and friendship to someone and they blatantly disregard your feelings, there is no harm in what you have done, they are the one who has to live with themselves. If you can be unconditional towards them and keep the love for them in your heart no matter what, you will become a stronger person because you're willing to do whatever it takes to manifest your true intentions.

You have to ask yourself, "am I being true to myself?" if the answer is YES, continue to be true and don't change who your are or sacrifice your desires or your character because of someone's raunchy mood. If the answer is NO, ask yourself why you would make sacrifices for someone else if they are not reciprocating your love, or their reaction only makes you feel worse. Could it be that they do not know the real you because they are not allowing themselves to?

If their blatant disregard for your feelings stems from them not opening up their heart to you in the first place, then you need to step back and give them some space. If they are being true to themselves they will come around eventually, and embrace the love you have for them, while appreciating all that you are. If they are not being true to themselves it will wear on their souls and start to show outwardly, and they will continue to wreak havoc upon their life in other ways. Unless of course they are being superficial, in which case they are not being true to themselves or to you.

When you are helping someone or opening yourself up to them because of the love in your heart that you wish to share, you ARE being true to yourself. When you have nothing but love for the person you are opening up to, you are also putting yourself in a vulnerable position as the other person may not be quite at your level spiritually or emotionally. The more you open up your heart, the more you risk the potential of getting hurt. Some people get hurt over and over again because they put themselves out there and are continually misunderstood.

I pray for the day when the love that I give is returned in the way that I deserve - I deserve only the BEST and highest level of respect. I am grateful for my friends and family whose love is unconditional as is God's love. I believe it is possible for two people to love each other in this manner but only after the barriers of past relationship hurt and uncertainty about the future are taken down - so all that remains is honesty, truth, and LOVE. Open up your heart to receive it, you deserve the best for your life, and to surround yourself with people who adore and appreciate you.
