Everyone has their own plans about their lives and what they want to accomplish. As we interact with one another there may be some tug and pull moving forward. When we were young we were taught not to push or cut in line in an effort to get to the end more quickly. Although we may think we learned that lesson well, when there is something we really want and others are in the way, we may justify pushing them aside or jumping ahead of them in order to get there. If we don’t care what happens we may run over them or bully our way through. Some people believe the ends justify any means necessary and if that means hurting someone else, so be it. Every time we hurt someone serving ourselves we may be burning a bridge. Perhaps we don’t think we’ll ever return so it doesn’t matter how many we burn pushing ahead. But life has a way of looping back around to where we’ve been and if we must come back it’ll be harder to find success if we’ve eradicated the connections necessary to allow it. No matter what our goals are or what time frame we’ve set to accomplish them, it is far better to work with those around us than against them. We can find successful ways to incorporate others if they are in our way and allow them to help us move forward. Bringing those around us into the plan will allow us to build strong connections that will help us through and be there in the future. We can do anything on our own but sharing the journey with others will make the trip more interesting and may take us to the destination more quickly. Collateral damage isn’t a requirement for success. We can build bridges instead of burning them, and move forward together.
Someone near us may be very ambitious and determined in their desires. If they want something we have they may simply take it instead of asking for it. If we must interact with them we may feel great frustration or anger as they act out in discriminatory ways. We don’t have to allow others to treat us badly. We can speak up and set boundaries that bring us confidence. We deserve respect and consideration, and we may demand it. The world doesn’t belong to anyone. We all have a part to play, and we can own what is ours and define what we need.
We may be a situation where someone hurts us deeply as they push forward to get what they want. Maybe they destroy a tender relationship we have with someone else, sabotage us at work, or cast aspersions on our character. It’s painful to go through such betrayal and it may be hard to get back up after being knocked down. But we have all the courage and strength we need to face anything that comes, and with grace and patience can continue forward despite any efforts to stop us. Success is always there. There is nothing and no one powerful enough to hold us down.
Today if you’ve been brushed aside or demeaned by someone pushing their way ahead, step out of the way and let them pass. You can move forward on your own road without interference and find success. Trust in your abilities and strength. You have everything you need to be happy and reach any destination you desire. Be confident. Everything is there for you and nothing will keep you from it.
