Look both ways.

“Protect your space and circle. Invest in people who you know will feed you just as much goodness as you do them.” 
― Alexandra Elle


A lot of the time, we truly aren't careful enough about who we let into our lives. It's okay to keep certain characters at arms length and I'm aware of that now. People use the phrase "protect your light" without actually explaining how to protect your light. I used to be so confused by that statement.  I mean first of all you've clearly got to identify whatever your "light" is. What it looks like. What is sounds like, or feels like. Know your light in other words. A lot of people interpret their light to be their worth. Others interpret it as their talents, or their happiness. Others equate light to their soul. I'm one of those people. I interpret my "light" to be my soul itself. The depth of who I am. I value my light more than ever now, and so I've found myself being more careful of who I open to. Some people are worthy, some are not. And that's the reality in everyone's life. The major problem with many of us is that we don't take the time to first properly identify that light, and we don't protect it like we're supposed to. Identifying it is perhaps just as important as protecting it in my eyes because how can you even begin to protect something you're not even aware of? Think about it.
Of course it's not easy. But once you start I encourage you to keep going. Slow and steady always wins the race.
It's interesting to me that emphasis on protecting our self worth isn't common in our societies. I remember when I was younger my mother always told me to look both ways before crossing the street. That was her teaching me protection of myself. It's the same type of concept with your light. Protect it by always looking both ways.









Love always, Kam.
