From my eBook: Self-Mastery/True Self-Empowerment by Joycelyn Marshall
If we want others to let us be our true selves and allow us to put ourselves first, we too need to allow others to be true to themselves and put themselves first. If we ask of something from another, we owe it to them to take the action that will put themselves first even if it means saying “no” to us. For it is they who are ultimately responsible for their actions regardless of the trigger. If their actions feel like a rejection to you then you’re taking it personally. Direct your love to yourself until you can become balanced again.
