I was watching #FBI and OA felt obligated to his friend Clay for saving his life years before. It didn’t matter that Clay was putting his life and job in jeopardy, OA risked it all. In the end, this same friend held a gun to him.
Maggie told him, “Your loyalty is your blind spot.” Meaning, your sight is obstructed from seeing properly. Some of you may not have a gun pointed at you, but you are holding on to relationships because of guilt dressed like loyalty and it’s costing you … YOU! It’s preventing you from seeing clearly.
Yes, you made a promise on their deathbed, you feel obligated because they were there or you believe you owe them for what they did. But it’s blinding you from seeing reality. The reality is, they’ll keep using you because they know they can.
Here’s a question for you. Do you keep paying something that has a $0 balance?
Then why are you consistently paying for something that never should have had a cost to it, anyway?
Even Bible says in Deuteronomy 15:1, “At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts.”
Baby, #FREEYOURSELF
