They say that we are drawn to people who are like ourselves, and dislike people who display characteristics we don’t like in ourselves. To me, I have always been drawn to people who display characteristics I wish I had and that I admire. Being around people like that inspires me to become a better version of myself. I think most of us are subconsciously drawn to people who have something we need to become better people. Unfortunately, for some of us who have a very soft and comforting energy, we attract people with a lot of darkness inside. This can definitely be a huge challenge, but just know that it is their soul who is looking to elevate itself through you. So I would say, full avoidance is not the solution, rather, I think we need to listen to the need of our own soul and spend equal amount of time with people who lift us and make us better.
In everything there has to be balance; giving and taking, loving and being loved…
Love your post, Trini. Very well said. It is all about the right balance…
Thank you so much! 🌹🌾🕯🌾🌹.
Hi Trini. I can relate to this. Love and standing in my truth is key. I followed Marks ‘breadcrumbs’ to your beautiful site. 😊 Bernice
Oh, I am so happy you enjoyed it! 😊😊😊😊. Yes! Love & truth, those are the answer 💖💖💖. Welcome to the site, Bernice! 😊😊. So lovely to have you here! 💖
So beautifully written.
Oh, thank you so so much! 😊💖😊💖😊💖
You are most welcome.
This is such a wise insight, Trini. Good advice!
Thank you so much, Eliza! 💖💖💖. I needed this myself, so I think it was like my soul talking to me 😃💖.
Yes! Our guides are never far away. ❤
True 😊💖
Thank you for writing this post. It’s given me some things to think about, as your posts always do! Peace. James.
Thank you, James! 🌸🙏🏻🌸. I wrote it after much reflection myself. I have been through a lot of this during the summer and needed to find a solution, and this is what I came up with 😊. Blessings to you, James! 🌸
Really thoughtful insights, Trini! Balance is definitely the key. It is very interesting who we are drawn to and the type of people that are drawn to us. A dual purpose. Thank you for sharing this ✨🙏🏽✨
Yes! It is interesting! 😊. I think every meeting serves a purpose, so to just avoid and reject people might not be the way, in my opinion. That is why I think finding people who top you up with energy is so important! 😊😊
Every meeting does serve a purpose. We only need be careful with what energy we are interacting with. 😊😊
Yes 😊
😊
Your way of writing this is so good Trini ❤
I'm in such a situation right now and need to find the way, thank you so much.
Thank you so much, Irene! 💖💖. I have also been in this situation many times, it’s really difficult, but I have also met people who blankly reject everyone with sadness or darkness in their lives in order to protect themselves, and I don’t think that is right either, so this is my way of doing things 😊😊
I agree, Trini.
The big challenge here is to keep the most darkness away from coming too close to us. Otherwise we risk to break down and then we are not able to be helpers for a while.
Yes! Exactly 😊😊😊
Somehow it always comes to finding a balance….
Yes 😊😊😊
I made an answer Trini, but it turned into a little post. I’ll call it the same as yours since you gave me the idea. Thank you for sharing your heart with me 😀
Cool!! 😃😃. Please put a link to the post here in the comments so that others can see it as well 😊
Why thank you dear lady, that is greatly appreciated 😀
The link to my post is here Come into the light! ❤️
Thank you ❤️
Great!! 😃👍🏻
Beautiful post, Mark! 😊. I tried to comment on it, but for some reason it wouldn’t let me 😞. But I agree with you about attracting what we fear and about standing in our truth and daring to be ourselves even when we end up standing alone. 😊.
Oh no, I have been having a few problems with people being unable to comment Trini. I thought it had been resolved. Just an idea, I’ve put a new wordpress ‘Follow Healing Your Heart From Within’ on the sidebar on the right, try re-following and see if that makes any difference (your actually not on my list of followers for some reason but we are getting each others posts….weird).
But at this point I will try anything Trini ❤️
Yes, I will try that, Mark. I have never unfollowed you…but you know WordPress….it sometimes does unexpected things! 😄😄😄
Oh yeah! And then some 😀
Beautiful post and observation! Can certainly relate to this! And love the picture you chose to go with it…
Thank you so much! 🌸🙏🏻🌸. Definitely something I’ve learned through experience. 💖
