It’s not your fault how they choose to behave towards you, but it’s your fault when you let it continue. – Marion Bekoe

In life, knowing when to walk away is a crucial skill that can protect our well-being and preserve our sanity. With the belief that everything happens for a good reason and life is too short for second chances, I’ve learned to set firm boundaries and prioritize my mental and emotional health above all else.

Forgiveness is a virtue I hold dear, but it comes with a caveat: I will forgive, but I will never forget. As mere mortals, we are not divine beings capable of endless forgiveness. While mistakes are a natural part of life, I firmly believe that they are often premeditated actions, not mere accidents.

For someone like me, who thrives on helping others without expecting anything in return, crossing a line that undermines my kindness and generosity is a line too far. Whether it’s selfishness or selflessness, the intentions reside within the heart of the individual. While we cannot control the actions of others, we can control our own reactions.

Learning to walk away, forgive, and disengage from anything that drains my positive energy has been a transformative journey. It’s about protecting my well-being and preserving my inner peace above all else.

Startups: Protecting Your Energy
