Believe in Yourself.

 You have a worth and a value. 

You have to set standards for yourself. 

Draw a line if you will, and limit 'how much' you will put up with before your line is crossed.

Know when you are being disrespected and don't allow yourself to tolerate beyond your limit. 

Once you let your standards down, and allow people to step over the limit, they will continue to do so. They will push your line further and further away from where you had it set. Eventually you will have lost all respect and begin losing your own self-respect.  

 Remember you have a worth and a value.

You have to stand up for yourself, even if it means letting go of others in your circle.

It's okay to walk away, push people out and get rid of those that bring negativity to you.

 IF you are not being held up as the person you are,

you are being drug down by someone who doesn't deserve your companionship.

 You owe no one nothing, if you have given respect and done your part as a good person.

It doesn't matter how much someone does for you, as long as you are doing all you can, when you can to help them in return.

 You owe it to your children to be a good parent, but you do not need to allow yourself to be walked over and put down by your own children. You are a parent, not their friend. 

 You can be in a marriage, a partner, a friend. That doesn't mean you owe yourself worth to the other person. You do your fair share and have the right to expect the same respect and help in return. Don't allow yourself to become enslaved to the relationship. 

 It doesn't work if one gives all and the other takes all. 

Relationships of all kinds - need balance. Equality. Respect. Fairness. 

 Believe in yourself. You may be better off alone than in a situation that makes you feel less than who you are. 

 If someone doesn't respect you, no number of apologize will change anything. The only thing that is going to happen, is they are going to continue to disrespect you, and it will get worse with each incident.

 Once someone walks over your standards "the line" they will continue to push the line back to where they are all it and you are nothing. 

 Believe in yourself and walk away, let go, close the door. It isn't going to get any better, only worse for you. 

 They will thrive on their dominance over you all while belittling you to nothing. 

You are worth more than that. You have a value; you are a good person. Don't let yourself be used as anything less.

Blessed by God
