Greetings family my latest rant…yeah I have been having a few lately (#QuarantineHD)… is why do some people always have something negative to say? Bloody naysayers, complaining, criticising moefoes! Always trying to hinder your efforts, stop you progress, block your dreams and don’t think it has to be the big comments. It can be the small, but frequent, innocent looking, indirect droplets of doubts, negativity, unnecessary comments, questions projected fears that can cause the most damage, influencing your mind, psyche, esteem, even your behaviour, just messing with your mood! Cha! You know those passive aggressive comments that start like ‘Oh ok your gonna do it like that, really?’… Or ‘well it’s up to you but’.. ‘Or are your sure’… these can throw you off, leaving you, questioning yourself, doubting your abilities and decisions. Think.. is there someone in your circle like that…is it you? Lol #microaggressions #allshapesandsizes #everylittlecounts
It’s like some people or let’s be kind and say some spirits, just sit around, waiting, scanning, looking to criticise, so happy to dash some of their bitterness on you as you walk past. Deep down.. I wonder is it because actually, that they are not really bad-minded spawns of the devil but just secretly wishing they could do what you’re doing, be or have what you have… #ButBeInspiredThen KMT
Whatever it is, let them talk to their therapist or pastor, because its bloody draining, tiring, having these negative vibes around spiritually, mentally & physically…in fact where’s my crystals and sage at…
But that saying comes to mind ‘you can’t please everyone all of the time’, not even on your best days, you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I have an upcoming event which has really pulled out some of my best forgotten about critics and naysayers…. No matter what you do..if it’s on a Friday they say why not a Saturday, if its at 5pm why not 12pm, always got something to blaadclart say.. who you got speaking…oh I don’t like that speaker, her hair is not natural, their name is still European, I know his baby mamma’s cousin, friend’s aunty Sharon and she’s rude… the list goes on!! These judgey petty differences DIVIDE.. Stop HATING!!! What about drawing on love first or simply having a #BeginnersMind. What is so wrong with being different… do we have to dress and talk the same, can’t we be individuals with a common-unity sharing the same mission. Cha!
I wonder how these same people operate in their lives.. do they constantly complain, wake up in the morning in a state of vexation.. You offer them a flower, they complain about the colour, pollen the smell, insects! These same people will then go on to complain that they never get flowers! Some people really need to check their first response, because when it should be thank you…it’s something else, sometime thanks doesn’t even feature! #grattudemyonlyreligion
Do you know what’s worst, some of these same people are usually the target group for the help your’e offering, even though they complain the most about what your offering! For example, I remember doing work for a black charity, every time we would try to gain black support whether monetarily or not, our harshest critic were other black people. Wtf! Why are we so critical, distrusting and harsh, especially to our own…how can we talk unity, when there seems to be so much energy healing to do within first. Is it the case because of our external afflictions, that we are lacking in our love-top up, so we don’t have enough to give ourselves, family, children and community….
Anyway, thank God I am not a famous, because trying to represent the entire black population is just too much a burden. I can’t even represent myself at times! Naysayers, no one is perfect but let it not stop us, from trying to strive forward on our mission or supporting others to do the same. With so many external barriers, threats, obstacles, attacks, as well as our own internal battles and demons. Love first. It still really surprises me, that we often get the least love, empathy and support from other people who should understand and are going through the same war. I can’t even say training helps, I’m part of several therapist network where some of them, sound like the tin man in The Wizard of OZ – lacking in heart!!
In the midst of my complaint (ironic I know, but it’s my blog) is my reminder that we really need to be careful about the energy of our circle and support network, those closest to you, family, partner, friends. We all need to #levelup, maybe I am just too idealistic or naive, but I really do believe one of the best fuels for progress, development and success is love. If you have a child or even an adult who you constantly criticised, abeg, how is continually pointing out what they’re not doing motivating?! Isn’t, talking about their capabilities and how they can improve more effective? Love seems to add another level of fuel, enabling and empowering, not depleting or draining, allowing stronger wings so we can fly and soar!
With love, great blessings come…care, understanding, purpose, happiness, peace, empathy, compassionate, healing. Love is not passive or weak, it can be empowering & strong. Love is active, love is a verb, doing love that creates a state of being…the opposite of hate. Love of oneself, family, community, the world. Protect yourself. Build up, before you tear down.
Well anyway I must continue my ritual of guarding my energy and space from my frenemies and haters… although I feel much better now, don’t worry just in case, I have some sage, a doll, a few pins and plenty of names!
Namaste. x
