“My father expects me to travel many hours – on his errands – even though I’m working two jobs. He won’t hear me at all,” my friend, Nadine, said.

“That sounds terrible,” I replied.

Nadine has some tough decisions ahead.

Here are three insights.

1. Realize how much you’re paying for certain situations.

“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.” – Henry David Thoreau

I’ve learned that “people pleasers” walk a hard path. Over the years I have tended to be a people pleaser—and I do not like it.

It’s a hard path to walk because no matter what you do—someone is going to be angry with you.

Let’s say you have two friends. They don’t like each other. When you spend time with one, the other is jealous. You cannot win if your only value is “people pleasing.”

Pause. Ask yourself, “What would Goddess advise for me in this situation?” She would not want you to pay “the wrong price.” She wants your growth and well-being. Remember that.

2. Elevate your personal energy, and you help other people.

Did you grow up in a household in which parents or guardians said, “Don’t be selfish”?

Have you heard any guardians say, “Take care of yourself. It’s good”?

At the same time, I realize that if you take care of your personal energy, you can be helpful to others.

I’ve learned that helping others actually lifts my own mood. Dealing with depression symptoms, I’ve learned that this is a crucial insight.

“A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal.” ― Steve Maraboli

It takes energy to make a kind gesture.
Be kind to yourself and protect your personal energy.

3. Ask the Gods to give you insight.

It’s hard to know what the best thing to do is. Do you say, “No”? Do you stretch “just one more time”?

Ask the God and Goddess to guide you and to give you insight.

They can see the whole picture. They know your destiny. They give you purpose and meaning.

Reach out to the Gods through meditation and prayer.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
