Accept relationship messages from people who care about you.
"I let myself be influenced by people a little too long", he said.
He was a crushed man, filled with sorrow and loss. A history of being the victim of abuse, failed marriages and the absence of his children in his life had crumbled him. Fear and inadequacy dominated him. He was fearful of being alone and fearful of relating with others.
Why did he let himself be influenced so much by others?
He wondered. He recalled his father's supportive comments and validation of him. His father lovingly said, "I couldn't do what you did".
His father was proud of his son. This crushed man began to realize that his father was giving him messages of love and strength. Laughing, he recalled his dad saying, "don't let this go to your head".
This man's didn't let his Dad's messages go to his head. In fact, he never allowed his Dad's messages into his head!
He never developed a strong base or self-concept. He did not allow his father's messages to strengthen him. As a result he was direction less and influenced by others for too long.
Today, make a strong effort to let the messages from your loved ones, friends and acquaintances enter your head. Let the messages of love into your head. Absorb and feel other's love for you. Let the messages of strength and validation into your head and you will become a stronger person.
Remember, You Live in the Environment Created by Your Choices!
