It's Not the Devil, It's Your Intentions

-

 




Let's be honest: a lot of what people blame on the devil is the result of their own intentions.

We love to deflect. To shift the blame.
To say, "Oh, the enemy is busy!"
But what if the enemy is actually… you?

What if the reason things keep falling apart isn't because some outside force is working against you, but because your motives are off?

Too many people are trying to build their blessings on the back of someone else's downfall.

They're hoping that if another person fails, it'll open the door for their success.
They're sending out negative energy in private while smiling in public, hoping their silent sabotage will produce loud wins.

But energy doesn't work like that.
Intention matters.
What you think, feel, and put out into the atmosphere all return.

You might not see someone's thoughts.
You may never know what's in their heart.
But the outcomes? Those tell the story.

When what you're trying to build keeps falling apart, when what you're manifesting doesn't materialize, it may not be spiritual warfare.

It could be the universe rejecting the energy on which it was built.

It's not the devil, it's the dissonance between your desires and your heart posture.

And here's the part many don't want to hear: You can't manifest joy while secretly hoping someone else loses theirs.

You can't sow sabotage and expect to harvest peace.

Blaming the devil becomes easy when we don't want to look inward.
But most of what people call "attacks" are the consequences of unchecked ego, jealousy, or insecurity.
It's not an outside entity. It's the inner you, the version of yourself that you've avoided healing.

Low self-esteem disguised as hate.
Unhealed wounds show up as competition.
Envy masked as ambition.

So, the next time things backfire, don't be so quick to blame the devil.
Ask yourself what energy you were in when you made that move.
Check your heart.
Check your motives.
Check your intentions.

Real growth doesn't come from trying. It comes from doing the work to shine authentically from within.

Psychologically Unsafe Living Environments

  "My living environment began to get highly toxic and uncomfortable to the point where I cried a lot, was angry with myself, and was in a state of depression." -Brittany D. Jackson   I felt this! I could relate to the author as she detailed how hard it was for her to live in one toxic environment after the other. These environments take a toll on us mentally and emotionally, making it difficult to trust others. Suppose you have ever felt extreme anxiety, low self-esteem, worthlessness, or feeling drained being around certain people more than likely. In that case, you are living in or have lived in an unsafe environment. Most of us have, at some point, experienced these living conditions at an early age in our childhood homes.   I grew up in psychologically unsafe living conditions. There was access to designer things and everything else to look good on the outside, but the internal structure was in shambles. I could not wait to get out on my own; there was no reason for ...

How to Identify Narcissistic Friendships

-

Friendships should be a safe space where you feel supported, uplifted, and celebrated. But not all friendships are built on genuine connections. Some people enter your life not to pour into you but to drain you. They want to dim your light, chip away at your confidence, and keep you beneath them. These are narcissistic friendships ; if you’ve ever felt like a “friend” was more of an opponent, you may have experienced one firsthand. At first, their behavior may seem subtle—a backhanded compliment here, an odd reaction to your success there. But over time, the pattern becomes clear. Signs of a Narcissistic Friendship 1. They Have a Superiority Complex No matter what you accomplish, they find a way to make themselves seem better . They constantly try to outshine you , downplay your wins, and make sure you never feel like you’re on their level. They might say things like: “Oh, that’s cute for you, but I’m aiming higher.” “I mean, anyone could have done that.” “I’ve been doing that for year...

Healing from the Subtle Wounds: A Journey Back to Self

-
Image
  As life continues to unfold, I find myself reflecting deeply on the last five years, a period where, unknowingly, I was entangled in the web of toxic relationships designed to break me. Looking back, one thing becomes clear: when your light shines even a little too brightly, those who have dimmed their own will often work overtime to dim yours too. The goal of the toxic person is simple: bring you down to their level. And sadly, much of what they despise in you is often beauty, strength, and resilience you haven't even fully recognized in yourself yet. I've come to hate that sometimes it takes great pain for us to realize who we are. It's in the betrayal, the loneliness, the subtle wounds that never quite scar over, that's where identity is forced to be reclaimed. Growing up, my mother used backhanded tactics to chip away at my self-esteem. I vividly remember how she would gush over my cousins: "Oh, you're so beautiful," she'd say, over and over, i...
