Certain people want to do things to make us need them, to convince us we will not be OK with out them or what they say we need.
It’s one thing to be of service to people, but it’s another to devise or create a need that makes people think they need you.
They want to be the only ones right…and that is wrong!!!
We all have to watch against this mindset. I have to watch and guard against this mindset.
If someone tries to make you think you cannot get along without them or you cannot do things without their help or advice, that is control and manipulation. Yes we need other people in our lives; we need the give and take and interplay of ideas between each other, but we do not want people taking advantage of us with a perceived need in whatever capacity that might be portrayed.
We have the responsibility not to allow others to control us and take away our own free will and ability to decide for ourselves.
Do I need to break free in any area of my life starting today?
