I would\u2019ve tried everything to pick them up, but after collecting energy zapper after energy zapper (you know, those people who want that instant fix but who don\u2019t want to do the work), I realized that wasn\u2019t my purpose. Just as a doctor can\u2019t\u00a0force the medicine down the\u00a0throat- you have to take responsibility for that. And\u00a0the fitness coach can\u2019t lift the weights and you get the results, you have to do the work, happiness is no different. Neither you or me can make someone\u00a0happy, or make them change their actions or their thoughts. It starts with oneself. Now this doesn\u2019t mean that I gave up on people. It means I\u2019ve created boundaries and send my love and my healing for their journey, but spare them a spiel.<\/p>\n<p>So remember that when that energy zapper around you begins complaining about the same thing over and over (and it could even be you), nothing changes unless something changes. And yes, it may be easier to say than to do, but do it anyhow.<\/p>\n<p>Believe,<\/p>\n<p>Kristy<\/p>\n<p>www.kristyrobinett.com<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kristy Robinett is an intuitive, life coach and author of several books.
