It's funny how people will try to condemn you for not helping others. They'll accuse you of "blocking your blessings". Okay, so why aren't YOU helping those people? "NO" isn't just a 2-letter word, but a whole sentence. Some people have to have enough discernment and realize when they're being taken advantage of. I am NOT that person that's gonna offer to help everybody who asks me for it because I can't help a person who's not willing to help themselves.
All of this. My version of helping someone is giving them a blueprint, and watching them put the work in themselves. For me, I’ll figure it out myself before I ask anyone for help, because a lot of people will throw up in your face what they did & do for you.
