How can I stop people from taking advantage of my kindness?.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Dear Deepak, I am awakening to my true self. I am slowly letting go of my dominating mind/ego and learning to live in a permanent state of bliss with my true self. I have so much to learn though. I am facing a few issues in my life situation which I am aware is for the evolution of my consciousness. However, just looking for some tips on how to deal with friends taking advantage of me being calm, nice and forgiving all the time. I keep trying to bring out the light in people by only seeing the light in them but they just keep showing me more darkness. Thank you so much, love and light.
Response:
If your friends are taking advantage of your easy-going nature to avoid taking responsibility, then their behavior is a reflection on them, not you. If you are feeling calm, kind and forgiving anyway, then you don’t need to worry about how others are interpreting your behavior.
Your contented state of mind is its own reward. If your friends expectations or manipulations become burdensome to your state of mind, you should not hesitate to speak up and say you no longer wish to participate. Just switch your attention to something else that is more enjoyable and rewarding to engage with.
Love,
Deepak
