Don’t let people mistake your kindness for weakness…ever.
We all know the motto, be kind to unkind people. Help those who need help. Put the shoe on the other foot and walk the footsteps of someone else to envisage their situation.
However, learn to recognise the signs of when you are being taken advantage of rather than depended upon.
Learn to recognise the difference between genuine need, and being a convenience.
Learn to open yours eyes and decide when it’s time to ask “are you ok?” And when it’s time to say “you can do this on your own”
Majority of us try our best to help those in need, do what we can to assist and support and provide if need be.
But, in some cases, we can’t.
Sometimes it takes the act of standing back and allowing that person or those people to take responsibility for their own actions.
We can’t help those who can’t help themselves and/or don’t want to be helped.
Lately I’ve observed a few situations like this and shit, I’ve definitely been in this tight spot multiple times.
Look out for others, but most importantly take care of yourselves. ✌🏻💖
