Little Red Hen

You have to pay attention to the things people say… I would like to explain how, but I prefer leaving bread crumbs. Someone I once held in high regards aggressively told me whilst pounding their curse (pointer) finger on the table, that if I wanted help “show up with the whole loaf, not bread crumbs”

I was raised rough, but one of our long hard-standing rules was never to use your curse finger unless you were willing to pay the consequences for your actions. Take this information however you like. I sat with this firm rip from this person for a while. I gave it way more thought and attention than I should have but nonetheless, it was a lesson learned in remaining firm and standing in my own integrity and convictions. I have often fought against the current, pushed boundaries on things that I thought were ridiculous. For instance, the saying that you should not tell people your next move, keep your goals quiet, so on and so forth. For many reasons, a couple being, other people’s negative thoughts derived from envy, jealously, greed, etc. have an actual effect on your energy field and can deeply hinder your path. Slowing you down. There are people that will tell you they are all in, they support you, they are ride or die, but every action they take in your life is only to feed off what you're puttin out, because it weighs you down. Unable to move, and made to stay where you are at, with them, because they don’t want you to move on, they don’t want to see

you succeed because of their own greed. They don’t want you to leave them. Then you have the others that siphon off of you, they try to destiny swap everything you worked for decades on, your whole life, these people are totally clueless to the consequences of their actions. Siphon, what I mean by this is: they listen, they support, then they use your ideas as their own.

This happens so much in the corporate realms. Taking the ideas of the grunts, nice thank you for the suggestion, then a year later, some pencil pushing polo/tie wearing fuck is getting pats on the back at the company golf game for the genius idea that made them money. The worst part, is yes we would love to blame them for this, the grunt knows the truth, but the world is so accustomed to this behavior that the person is unaware they even did it. They are more dangerous than one who knows what they are doing. Why? How does someone’s conscious work when one is not self aware?

This kind of shit happens everywhere, everyday. Nothing new, and not just in the corporate realms but in all types of relationships. Yep regular, day to day relationships. From your “I’m all in’s, Ride or Die’s, blah blah blah”. What I am here telling you is from MY experience. Reel it in. Cut the siphons off. Only give bread crumbs, never hand them the whole fucking loaf. Make them work for it. You sit and watch, listen sure, but watch those mother fuckers and what they fucking do with YOUR bread crumbs. Watch for humbleness, gratefulness, respect, integrity, accountability, etc. Settle for nothing less, and stop selling yourself short. Trust your intuition aka listening to your gut. I can’t stress this enough, and fuck giving the benefit of the doubt! Just prepare your loaf, all alone in your kitchen, with love and grace. Take your place at the table, and wait for the ones that show up and set their loaf next to yours, feast in laughter, but stay hungry. Much love 💕
