Hello everyone! Hope you all had a safe and wonderful long weekend. :-)
Of course, as most of you know, in my day-to-day life I do a lot of work to bring people back together in their relationships. Helping to mend broken relationships is the majority of my work, in fact! However, I sometimes find myself in the position of letting someone know that being alone is not the worst thing that can happen to them!
In my opinion, being with the wrong person or in bad company is far worse than being alone! Naturally I am not particularly saying that being alone forever is my meaning. But some time being alone is often cleansing and uplifting!
It is far better to be alone than to be in the wrong company of someone who belittles you, cheats on you, takes you for granted, and or just generally treats you poorly. It is also better to be by yourself than to be with people with whom you have nothing in common and nothing to talk about or, even worse, to be in the company of those who will belittle your beliefs, dreams, or goals!
When you are alone you have the space, mindset, and time to connect with your Higher Self fully without the interference of the incompatible consciousness of other people around you. It is very different when you are by yourself than when you are with others. You should consider it one of your highest priorities to be with the right kind of people or just spend some time alone!
Being with the wrong kind of people only lowers your state of consciousness and shrinks your awareness, brings on self-doubt, and does little for your self-awareness. We are always affected by the collective consciousness of the people around us, because whenever we are surrounded by people, our mind becomes part of the group mind. Being by yourself actually frees you from the group mind. That is why you can connect to God, the Universal Mind, or Cosmic Consciousness best when you are alone.
Train yourself to be extremely selective with whom you relate. The more carefully you choose in life, the more you will be able to decipher exactly what you desire. Using the power of choice expresses who we are as creators of our perfect reality. The reason why you may be experiencing unfulfilling interactions with people is because you might have the wrong idea that you have to unconditionally accept everyone who comes your way. The truth is you have to reject people who are not best for you in order to accept only the best.
Now, of course, there are those among us who will preach that there is "good in everyone, you just have to look for it." When the looking gets exhausting, consider cutting that person from your life. If you have to look that hard for the good, it is just not going to be worth it in the end. You will do all the work and will reap little benefit. Even worse, that person will not care nor respond to the fact that you are willing to put up with them because you feel that "there is a good person inside there somewhere."
Being alone for a period of time is sometimes your best opportunity for personal growth. :-)
Love, light, and peace,
