How do you know if they love you or just love the lifestyle you provide them?

I just did a reading for a woman who “got dumped for another woman.” She actually “got dumped” after she told her boyfriend he couldn’t use her car anymore and he had to pay rent if he was going to keep living at her place. Seems it was easier for him to change girlfriends than to change lifestyles. Stop doing these things and you will attract those who love you for you and can do for themselves, I promise you. How do you know if they love you or just love the lifestyle you provide them? Stop providing them with anything but your love and attention, that’s how.  If you have to bribe someone to be with you, that’s not love. Many people go to any length to have someone in their life. The one time I did for someone with the intention of giving them the respite they said they never had, I disabled them to the point that they resented me and the friendship was lost. Lesson learned! Let the caterpillar make its own way out of the cocoon or its wings won’t be strong enough to fly.

Hard as it is, get used to death. God would not stop an acorn from growing into an oak, nor a tadpole from becoming a frog

It’s not going to stop, everyone drops their body, it’s part of life. Why is death deemed tragic and why would God allow it to happen? It’s not tragic, it’s just the cycle of Life, so why should God prevent any of it? We’re all going to die. We simply need to know it’s nothing to fear and that it’s not the end. What a caterpillar calls death, we call a butterfly. Would He intervene to prevent the caterpillar from becoming a butterfly? Would he keep a tadpole from becoming a frog? Would he stop an acorn from growing into an oak? Would he prevent hot water from becoming steam, or cold water from freezing? These are just natural changes and it is no different than our own transition from one state of being to another. It’s just a change. Would we keep a toddler in kindergarden or a 6th grader in elementary school? No, we let them graduate to the next phase in the process, so they can continue to learn and grow and become more of what they are meant to be.  That’s all death is: going from one form to another.

Grief is work but it doesn’t have to be grim. When you check out of your physical body, your work is able to take on a new dimension.  Continue reading
