This was posted today by fellow author Elizabeth Gilbert. It is a beautiful message for anyone who has ever felt unloved, unwanted, or rejected by another. There are various ways people can leave you, as Elizabeth outlines below. They can pull away physically or emotionally, they can withdraw outright or significantly alter their form of communication, they can even become unfaithful. There is a simple truth behind this message: if a person truly cares for you and wants to be with you - be it friend, family, or lover - they will find a way to be with you. It will be a healthy, kind, and supportive relationship, one buoyed by love and trust and mutual respect. Good people, and good relationships, ought never cause you to doubt or to twist or to beg. Each of us has been there - some more often than others - but if you take a few minutes to read Elizabeths message, and to watch (see: absorb!) Bishop Jakes rousing sermon, you may find that you never go there again. As John Gielgud said in the movie Arthur - You feel unloved, Arthur, welcome to the world. Everyone is unloved. Now stop feeling sorry for yourself. And incidentally, I love you. Enjoy this beautiful day, :) ~MPM #WithLove --- YOUR DESTINY IS NOT TIED TO ANYONE WHO LEFT Dear Ones - Its Sunday morning. Lets go to church. I LOVE this short but powerful video about letting people go. We all need to learn this — what Jakes calls the gift of goodbye. Because weve all had people in our life who left us behind. Maybe they left without an explanation, or maybe they left with an insufficient explanation, or maybe they left in a cloud of lies and pain. Maybe it was a family member, maybe it was a lover, maybe it was a friend. Maybe you ran after them, begging them to stay. Maybe youre still calling them in the middle of the night, trying to convince them to come back. Maybe youre working on that next ten-page letter — that last effort to save the relationship (despite the fact that none of the other ten-page letters worked.) Maybe youre still begging. (You think Im judging you? Hell, no! Im speaking for myself here, too. Im not gonna name names, but lets just put it this way: I am not unfamiliar with the act of begging people to stay. You dont think I can write a ten-page letter trying to save a doomed relationship? Trust me: I CAN WRITE A TEN-PAGE LETTER.) But Bishop Jakes has it correct here: If anyone can walk out of your life, you LET THEM WALK. Your destiny is not tied to anyone who is able to walk out on you. Ever. ONWARD, LG
