Hey there, I know that many of you are sweethearts,gentle and/or like things to glide along easily when there’s conflict but there’s something missing in the air. Your voice:). You probably avoid being a “bitch” or a “jerk” because you don’t want to hurt anyone. The thing is, sometimes you actually have to be those things(in the eyes of a hater) in order to get shit done and/or help people to see the beauty in what your heart is trying to accomplish. Let me give you an example: A few weeks back, construction workers left a bunch of rubble & sharp objects laying out in the middle of the sidewalk in front of one of my jobs. There was dust everywhere and a few elderly people and parents with strollers had trouble walking around it. I wanted to speak up but I thought “Well, they won’t listen because Im not their boss.” So, I left it alone and I continued to work. A few hours later, a little girl was walking by with her family and SMACK! She fell on the concrete. She fell face first & mouth open onto the dust and broken building parts. Poor thing,she was crying so much and she was totally embarrassed. That was it for me. I leaped over the counter and walked right up to one of the construction workers and in a firm yet calm voice I told him to clean it up. The guy saw the little girl fall and he had already witnessed an elderly woman struggle to get passed the rubble with her walker but because he just wanted to get the job done, he ignored the warning signs. Ridiculous. Also, I picked up that he was waiting for someone to tell him to clean up the mess(really?! Why would you wait?!)! Anyway, he quickly agreed with me about the problem & immediately ordered his co-workers to clean it up. The reason I TOLD him to clean it instead of asking him is because he had already been asked 2wice by two people walking by and refused to take action. Anyway, he could have called me all sorts of names, including “bitch” but strangely enough, he was kind and humble about it and he said “thank you,miss” and I apologized for scaring him & we went our separate ways. That of course is an example with a happy ending and yes, it could have turned into a problem but I used my intuition & I said a quick prayer for my safety beforehand. I listened to my inner voice and I followed my heart. You can do the same thing. If your intuition says “No, don’t say anything” be silent but still speak up by praying for the strength to do the most helpful thing in line with your safety. Being nice all of the time & avoiding the strength that wants to step forward when you’re being kicked around doesn’t make you more elevated. In reality, it shuts you down & then eventually, you become jaded with yourself. No good. I don’t mean that you should look to fight others at your first shot, I just mean that speaking up in order to help is extremely important on this great spiritual journey that so many of us have embarked upon. Also,don’t let the term “lightworker” stop you from being direct with someone. You might be that person who says things that people might not want to hear, but actually need to hear for the greater good of a situation…yes… but remember, in order to shed light, you’ve gotta have the strength to hold the torch. It’s hard sometimes because you don’t want to upset anyone or stir up problems and have people gang up on you. I know, i get it. You get called names & some people act like some how, you’re not helping anyone. I get it, I understand. Just remember this: for every ounce of energy that it takes you to be kind, there’s EVEN MORE strength from The Divine to protect you in any situation that you encounter. Someone, some people,children,animals,trees,nature some business need your voice & protection. If you read all of this, it was meant for you. It’s time to reach out & be heard. <3 <3
