Is Someone Getting The Best of You?
Posted in Be Yourself, Lightbulb Moments on 04. Oct, 2010
I heard one of my favourite songs today for the first time in ages.
I love the way music & lyrics bring you messages from the universe and brings wisdom in abundance, its the ultimate modern mans poetry.
The song was the “Best of You” by the Foo Fighters.
The verse that really summed up my thoughts for this week is this one:
“Has someone taken your faith?
It’s real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You’d die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must confess”
For me, what makes me really resonate with this, is the contemplation of “am I giving the best of myself away to a relationship at all costs?”
Am I giving away my faith in love, real love and denying my pain and heartache, just to try and heal the wounds of love and life?
Am I denying myself real happiness, and by doing that am I really giving the best of me?
I think we all start or enter relationships with the hope that we will always give our best, and we are broken hearted when that best is taken for granted or not quite enough to see us through the moments of heartache.
Most importantly the real message of this song is, are you willing to let people take the best of you and abuse the trust of that gift?
I have no actual idea of what the answer is, but ultimately you need to be true to what you feel is right in your heart and soul, and if giving the best is what you want and need to do, then do it, but do it for you and not because its what you think you should do.
Just know when to say enough is enough, resist the temptation to keep giving beyond what you can and break the chains, and give the best back to the one person who you know will appreciate it….you.
“Were you born to resist or be abused?”……..
“Is someone getting the best
The best, the best, the best of you?”
Always be you,

Giving ourselves to others is something at which we, as women, excel. The trick is to recognise this is what we do and always take time for ourselves. How can we give anything to anybody if we are never full?
Whether or not we choose to give ourselves is just that … a choice. And how do we determine who is deserving and who is not? If we feel under-appreciated we can choose to move on and accept that we all have different values … it’s impossible to live too far outside your own values.
And yes … always be you.
