Sometimes you just have to give love back!
Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 12:54PM It's been a while since I blogged and as much as I love blogging there have also been some issues that have kept me away.
But then I sat today and thought, why should others keep me away from doing something I really love. And yes I do love blogging and sharing my life with you, as you have always supported my gift and encouraged the journey that I am on. With that said I want to thank you!
Negative people really can get a hold of you, but you have to turn it around and make a change. Those people who fire negative comments are those who are jealous of you. Jealous of who you are, what you may do for a living, who your friends are and who you decide to be in a relationship with.
I have had to deal with jealousy all my life. I don't like dealing with it, as it's an emotion that is not worth any energy. But because I have this gift there are others who are ready to put you down, and then with the added situation of having a book and a TV show... thats when people start firing on all cyclinders. It's so sad to see that happen.
But what you can't do is control what others do, but you can decide on how you are going to act. This is the one thing that was the hardest lesson for me over the years. That is not to let it get to you. Sadly over the last 5 years I have had to grow a very thick skin... and to learn NOT to google yourself!!! hahaha
My mother has a great philsophy and she always says one thing when I tell her if someone is bothering me, "Just ignore them" and it's true and has worked in a lot of cases. However there are times that you also have to face things. But the jealously is something that I am choosing not to face, I am not going to act, I will deal with it accordingly. Other issues I will face, and I will face them head on. I have learnt to have a voice and speak my mind and will continue to do so if I have to, but for those people who are negative and make negative comments I will take my mom's advice :)
So I am back, I will possibly make a change and go back to blogging on my website but until now... I'm here and I'm not going anywhere!
So when you find that someone is talking negative about you, stop and instead of reacting, ask yourself if they have cause to do so and if they don't then could they be jealous of something that you have in your life. Then react in a way that you see fit. If people see that it doesn't get to you then you will find that it will stop. It's not easy but shower them with love because it's clear that they are lacking something in their life and love will always conquer all!
Sending love out to everyone!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful post. I understand what you mean about how sometimes others can still our joy to the point where we don't have the energy to do what we love because we're absorbing their negative energy. You're too wonderful of a person and your spirit is too pure to ever allow anyone else to dim your light. I hope and pray I am able to meet you in person one day. You are truly gifted!
I live by this quote....."how others treat you is their path~how you respond is yours"
You cannot control others actions, just your reactions.
So glad you decided to blog again :) I left a post on your Facebook page. I can definitely see why someone would be jealous of you or your life, but you are above giving those people a reaction. Keep doing the great job you are doing. I hope one day, I can come out to CA for a vacation and a reading with you! It would be so much fun!!!
his is so so so true Lisa its as though you are talking about me at the moment after having a so called friend verbally attack me the other day. Ive come to relise focus on those that matter and forget those who dont.Life is far to short to have unnessecery worries and hurt.Looking forward to seeing you again in adelaide, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to have you connect with my dearr brother again. Keep Smiling and sharing you wonderous gift with us. Joanne Rogers
Keep up your good energi! :)
Thank you for your post, Lisa! We've missed you!!!
I don't have too many ppl who are jealous of me but I try to rid myself of nagative ppl because the just smother my "Spirit." I enjoy ppl of many cultures, religions who seem to be positive ppl. I come from a dysfunctial/alcoholic family so I try to be the best mom, wife and person I can be One Day at a Time. Hugs. Nicole
YOU GO GIRL!
Thank`s for reminding me :)
Forget the haters, Lisa! Only allow those in your life who bring positivity and unconditional love and support. They are the only people who deserve your time. Sending you good thoughts and love! Rachel
Hi Lisa;-)
Thanks for å wonderfull course with you on The Mexican Riviera;-) You are amazing person with many gifts and a great personality;-D Good writing about the topic and YES shower these people with love is the best medicine. You are doing great things! ENJOY and share;-)
Look forward seeing you in my city Stavanger this summer. Both Monicas are coming to see you - you know;-) You know how to find us if you want to see the city;-)
Thank you, Lisa! You are a wonderful person, keep going strong ;)
I always look back to myself.. My heart, my intention..When people say mean things I generally pray for them and "let it go" People that carry love in their hearts and have good intent will probably always be attacked..
I just had a similar talk with a friend on the phone..He had someone that was purposely cruel to him.. I asked him without expecting or wanting an answer what his intent was .. Did he act with love? Of course I knew that he did and the person that attacked him was the one with the issue..
Just always walk in your own love and intent and if you know that is what you are doing, let go of the remarks the people around you make that are negative.. Pray for them because they have something that makes them feel the way they do and probably need that prayer..Always sending love whether I agree or disagree.. My heart tells me there is a reason...
Gawd..you better not be going anywhere...I think you're an amazing woman and teacher...No way am i jealous, i am very very grateful the heavens sent you. Your the light helping this world shine bright XXXX Good to have you back!!!
So very true. Glad you're blogging again. Xxx Hugs!
When I am balanced I am able to be grateful that my life is not filled with so much anger, fear, and hate as the other person's. It takes a lot of effort to be/stay negative. Its actually quite sad to think of how powerless a person must feel to attack with such venom. Jealousy has less to do with what you have/who you are and more to do with what the other person fears or is lacking. There are many lessons to be learned from biting words. Its ok to say ouch, then, as you said, move on.
It is indeed nice to hear from you again.
Peace to you and yours and may your lessons come gently.
:) Amy
So glad you found happiness Lisa. I 'knew' something was not right and now it makes sense.
As for the skeptics, I saw this recently and feel it's a good way to remember how to ignore those nay-sayers: To those who know, no explanation is needed. To those who don't know, no explanation will do.
And yes, don't google yourself. ;-)
ps) meant to say also, that what you did last year has inspired me and made me realise it's okay to make choices for our own happiness! x
Thank you! Always keep yourself in the authenticity that it grows best. Love
Hi Lisa,
Never doubt yourself, you are a beautiful human being with a lovely soul and you were destined to do this work and help people. Walk tall. Reflect back what is sent to you but also send it back with love.
Thank you for your blog, I adore reading it and it helps to get perspective on life and issues that may be bothering me and others. I am so pleased you are so happy now, you only have to look at your new photographs to see the difference you look a new woman.
The world needs more people like you. Much lovexx
Beautifully said Lisa! I am going to work on this too :)
Lisa when you care and care how others feel you would TOTALLY find it hard the negativity and jealousy. It would hurt and the more you'd believe I think sometimes it is like your going in a totally different direction. Your intentions are good, we all know that. And whether you are gifted, famous, have friends in the right places those who love you will love you for none of that. Respect you for your hard work maybe, but love you inspite. I honestly think alot of your fans see the love in you, that is the essence and we know you have to humble yourself to really obtain that essence. I love you - look in all of the fairy tales snow white, cinderella.. where there is good there is always an opposition. Lift up love and they will go - everyone wants it lisa keep giving them hope and the rest will fade away. You are beautiful you are a woman of faith, I know this the world knows this. We are behind you 100 percent. I wish I could give you a hug :(
Lisa, this has been one of my life lessons also. Took me a looooong time (lol, like 40 years!) to learn how to let go of negative people & their jealousy. I know how its been for me most of my life -- and can imagine how much moreso it has been for you, living in the spotlight with your profession!! You are loved & valued among many.....and thats what matters most. xxo
Thank you so much for all the love you send out! My daughter and I simply loved your show in Oslo last September, and we are both looking forward to seeing you in Tønsberg! Fantastic that you are coming to Norway again!
