YOU ARE FAKE

Today I had a message from someone saying...

"YOU ARE FAKE."

And it made me realize that I'm probably not the only one that ...

#1 gets messages like this...

....or....

#2 has also thought that about someone else.

So I thought I would share with you how I responded..(hang in there, bc the story ends well)

"Sorry you think that about me. Hope you find happiness in your own life too and you won't feel the need to put others down to lift yourself up"

After I sent that, this person responded with an apology and they shared more about what's going on in thier life...and truly I am so appreciative of that message back. Too often we compare ourselves to someone's life and that is the thief of joy. I know because I used to do ALLL..THE...TIME...

My response to not only that person but even MORE SO to myself is a response of love and hope and as much as I try to encourage others I also read back my messages as if I'm talking to MYSELF.

If I don't treat others with love there is NO WAY I CAN DO THAT FOR MYSELF.. So please read this in love and as a reminder that you ARE LOVE and you are capable of loving others INCLUDING yourself....

( More of my response)

"Honestly I feel ya, it sucks when you go through crap and I've been there too. Trust me. You have to face it head on and look at what you have control over and anything you don't have control over look for a better way, opportunity is there and even if it means confrontation or heartache, getting to the other side is always worth it... No hard feelings for what you said. It's inspiring me to share more about my own struggles too. We all have a story and it's worth it to be shared. If it helps I recommend following Trent Shelton and Lewis Howes on YouTube, because mindset is EVERYTHING when it comes to positive changes in your life. "

I truly am no ones competition because in the end I want you to win too.
