All dead weight people keep you anchored and suspended into the past because of the memories that they bring and those thoughts of the past serve to keep you in an arrested state without you able to move forward. Many of us get duped into thinking that it’s harmless reminiscing when you have deadweight entities from your past who do nothing but speak about theat time long gone.
Most often when you really and truly break things down these deadweight entities want nothing to do with the present, nor do they have any aspirations to achieve anything in their future. They take joy in keeping you away from your brilliant future by keeping you in that unwanted place of stagnation by never encouraging you to move forward but keeping you in the past.
They are like prisoners who will be incarcerated for life and can never leave that dark place and never want you to leave that visit because they cannot come with you, so they will selfishly desire to keep you there with them to live out their prison sentence.
Like a broken record they will bring up the same dusty memories and stagnant jokes that can often times be a familiar place for you but always leave you feeling nauseous as the time that you spent with them focusing on the old times did nothing to elevate you in the present day.
Oftentimes you will notice that they have no enthusiasm to explore a world that is so huge and wonderful with so many things to discover. They will always have an excuse to stay back from your invitations of turning over new soil in favor of walking down the same old beaten path of a past that they can never seem to escape from.
Personal growth can never manifest in stagnant dead soil. So aside from the repetitious job that they may have done in their early years they are basically through with participating in life with no desire to break free from the confines of a closed mind in the prison of a time long gone.
While I would never say to abandon them completely you have to treat them like a fireplace, stay close enough to allow them to feel your warmth but not too close or you’ll get burned. Never forget that it’s not always healthy to stay near that fireplace of reminiscing because you will begin to think like them and your life force will be drained as they have no enthusiasm to add to your life in a synergistic manner.
It’s very sad when you have someone in your life that seems to be drowning in a sea of self loathing and pity because no matter how much you attempt to encourage them or you attempt to bear some of their negativity, nothing that you do can save them from their psychological and emotional incarceration.
What you can’t allow to happen is to allow them to pull you into the lake of despair that they are drowning in because after they pull you in with fatal results they will live on to complain about how hopeless life is.
You’ve got to understand that these individuals have a contagious cancer of the spirit and while you would do anything to help them, you can’t allow yourself to become an enabler to someone who would surely bring you into a that dreaded state of stagnation.
Self-preservation is key and anyone who does not bring anything of value into your life – as you should bring something of value to theirs – is a recipe for disaster and a sure way to waste lots of time and render your long held ambitions ineffective.
No matter how good things may appear to a person who is new in your life that you have decided to let get closer, or an individual who you’ve known for decades who is hell-bent on their own personal stagnation and will have you producing nothing in the name of reminiscing on the past while not projecting a progressive and beautiful future.
For me, every day that I awaken is an opportunity to achieve new things to arrive closer to my goals and to meet people that I can build with in a very edifying manner. Life is too short to stay in a state of suspended animation on a mental, physical and spiritual level knowing that we all have the seeds of greatness inside of us as it is a sin to produce absolutely nothing in this life.
Also know that the more potential that you have for greatness and the more effort that you put in to achieving great things, the talents that you possess have more of a chance that you will have these negative entities assigned to you to thwart you from your plan. Spiritual warfare is real and most people out here do not understand how much weight they’re carrying as an unnecessary burden.
But how can you rid yourself of these negative energies that want to bring you into a place of hopelessness if you do not know that they exist or you are not aware of the spiritual plane in which these invisible identities lurk and target you in?
I feel strongly that this particular plane of existence that we live in is merely a test, and aptitude or placement test to see where we will be placed on the next level just like a student who has enrolled in a new school that must take a test in order to show the school administration where they should be placed fairly. Not in a class that’s too easy for them nor a class that is too difficult. We are earning our placement in the present time for our eventual transition into the next dimension and if we squander this opportunity to learn and gain the necessary wisdom, we will be placed in a low vibrational reality when it’s time to leave this lifelong classroom.
I had to say these things at the risk of sounding boring, but you must understand that just like a child in school, he or she can truly have fun once the lessons are completely learned and digested. Only then can they go out to the school yard to play. So the more we avoid the lessons that we are supposed to learn on this level is the more that we feel chastised – as we should – in life because we have not done what we were put here to do.
So continue to strive, continue to learn and continue to heal from the things that have left scars on our souls so that every day will be bright and every day will be an opportunity to elevate ourselves in a joyous manner leaving us better off several degrees higher than we were in the previous day.
Once you embrace this particular philosophy you will not have the time to live in the past and drag someone else into the darkness of stagnation and inactivity.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and I look forward to sharing so much more every single day. Please leave your perspectives and viewpoints in the comment section below!
Peace, Love, Self Preservation and Revolution Always,
