Thank You For The Concern, But I’m Good.

How to graciously choose yourself without choosing offence.

How come none of the people you talk to materialise to “meaningful relationships?

Babe, I know you want the best for me and I know from your rose-coloured glasses of your beautiful marriage, you truly are concerned as to why I am not in a hurry to join in on the beauty. So, thanks for the concern but you really don’t need to be concerned. I am choosing the single life for now. That doesn’t mean I don’t desire to be boo’d up, however, I’m not just going to boo-up with just anyone. The stakes are higher for me because I am older and wiser. I know what I can and cannot take. So, it’s gonna take me a minute to get my diamond in the middle of the rocks. But I promise you, I’m good.

OK, so what’s the point of this whole story?

Listen, just because someone throws something at you doesn’t mean you have to catch it.

What can you do to demonstrate this power in your life? How can you appreciate the good intent and also reject it because it does not serve you?
