We Don't Need Another Hero

One of the lessons that I've been teaching myself these past couple of years is that people do not need to be sheltered from the consequences of their fear-based actions and choices. Life has not been sheltering me from mine; and I must admit, though painful, it has been good for learning the lessons that I wanted to learn.

I used to be a 'rescuer' of others and burned myself out by either giving to people who weren't giving to themselves, or by using them as a distraction from feeling my own stuff. One of the best lessons in life is learning how to choose actions that support a healthy and loving level of existance. If my choices are unhealthy, it is going to show up in my life so that I can choose to include love in the equation.
