Welcome to Beleaf in Fatherhood, where we equip fathers, bring hope to mothers, and inspire children.
Just because someone is not good to you, that does not mean they are not good. Sometimes you have to be the one that sets the standard for the community you’re in. My mantra when it came to relationships last year was, “I deserve better.” This statement is not a way to keep me isolated or hold things against people, it’s an invitation to accept the right things into my life. Now when it comes to chosen covenant relationships this doesn’t apply in the same way. Let me know your thoughts below.

I have some light for you so in 2022 I
0:03
let go of a lot of relationships I
0:04
thought I would probably have forever
0:06
but now I know that I probably won’t
0:08
have these relationships anymore and um
0:11
I was sitting here
0:13
um and I had this kind of epiphany right
0:14
and this is what I’m calling the light
0:16
for you right just because someone is
0:20
not good for you that doesn’t mean
0:22
they’re not good you know what I’m
0:23
saying like some people aren’t bad
0:26
people they’re just bad for me right
0:29
um and I was sitting here like really
0:31
trying to justify why I was choosing
0:35
myself over a person or a few people
0:38
actually you know what I’m saying and I
0:39
just decided that
0:41
it’s not them right it’s me right it
0:46
really is me I’ve decided that I deserve
0:49
better so I can no longer tolerate your
0:51
behavior you know what I’m saying and I
0:54
think that adds a lot of friction to us
0:57
because when we see that person we may
1:00
consider them as not good but they’re
1:03
it’s not that they’re not good they just
1:05
didn’t understand the value of you right
1:07
and so
1:09
um as I discovered that I have a lot
1:14
more value than I thought I had
1:16
I realized that some people I’m not
1:18
friends with no more because I wasn’t
1:20
good to them right and I needed to lose
1:23
them to understand the value of good
1:25
people you know what I’m saying and so
1:28
that’s a good thing like if someone has
1:30
realized their value and they realize
1:32
like man I could be doing so much better
1:34
or this person you know saying they
1:36
don’t really value me like you have to
1:39
lose that person for you to understand
1:41
how valuable people are and so even as
1:44
I’m walking out of some relationships
1:46
it’s not so much just because I think I
1:49
deserve better it’s because if I stick
1:51
around you might not understand how
1:55
valuable the other people are around you
1:57
so I’m gonna leave because I deserve
2:00
better and you’re going to learn a very
2:01
valuable lesson about people in general
2:03
right that’s my light y’all go ahead and
2:07
shine today
2:08
welcome black
