Change begins with you....

So often we allow people to treat use wrong: misuse, abuse, frustrate and upset us- without ever doing something about it. Hurt , pain and disappointment will have to every living and breathing organism. However, the premise of life should not be surrounded by such. Ever wonder why people continue to mistreat you? Contemplate on the rationale for people's desires to continuously do you wrong ? There are many reasons why people may choose to do so, however, I do want to share with you readers, a concept that many may have not et considered. PEOPLE TREAT YOU THE WAY IN WHICH YOU ALLOW THEM TO DO SO. I'm sorry for being the barrier of bad news but .. in some situations, it may be your fault for they way you are being treated. Before you become defensive , or feel that I am being judgemental, please allow me to first elaborate on why I made such an extreme statement. As many of us know, not every person is what  one can consider as a "good person". Unforunately, that is something that we simply can not change instantaneously. Matter of fact, you will probably never be able to change another person- who is not willing to first change themselves. However, you do possess the ability to  change yourself.These people, that constantly do you wrong, why do you feel the need to continue to involve them within your life? How are they benefiting you ? What is is about them that you are fearful of facing ? Truth be told, there is no reason in which you should feel the need to have these type of people in your life , upon discovery of their true character. When you  realize that these people are not wishing the best for you, it is up to you to remove them from your life circle. No I am not telling you to be rude or harsh about the situation. However, I am encouraging you to be fair- not to them but to yourself. It is unfair for you to have to live life unhappy, due to another persons mistreatment. Therefore, with that being said, you have the choice to start living life happily and freely. "How can I do  that  ?" you might ask. Well readers the first step is to no longer associate yourself with such people and begin with change. Change within you  !
