Sometimes we require others to show up in our lives in ways we don't show up for ourselves. We expect them to fill our voids and the places we lack. We hold them accountable for our emotions and the trajectory of our day. The truth is that's a battle no one can win because they aren't responsible for your happiness, growth, or acceptance, you are.
 I'm learning that man is not my source and anything that I'm missing on my journey of life will find me while I do the work. I'm realizing that I get to show myself how I desire to be treated. That's my job. It's my job to heal, love, and care for me. I teach people how to treat me by how I treat myself. If I speak negatively to myself, then I'm allowing other people to do the same, but if I show up with a heart of love and kindness, positivity and grace for myself, then the people around me will too and  I trust that anyone who doesn't, will have served their purpose in my life. How we show up for ourselves dictates how others show up for us. Remember, it is our job to be what we need while we trust the Lord to lead us toward our greatness because there is only one you and that in itself is the biggest flex.
