Peace Family! 🕊️
Y'all see what's happening on Facebook Marketplace lately? 😂
Let me break it down for you:
Dear Facebook Marketplace,
We Know Y'all Offering Free Stuff Because Black Friday Comin.
Y'all Ain't Slick.🤣😂
Trynna Avoid The Cost To Dump Is Not The Same As Giving From The Heart🤫🤫🫣
I'm Just Playing, I Shop From Marketplace Regulary😂🤣😂🤣
Now, this might seem like just a funny observation, but let's dig deeper. It's Choosing Season, and today we're choosing to sharpen our discernment. 🧠💡
The Real Talk 🗣️
In life, just like on Facebook Marketplace, we often encounter people who seem to be doing us favors. But are they really? Let's break it down:
The "Free Stuff" Illusion:
Sometimes, what looks like generosity is just convenience in disguise. Are they truly giving, or just decluttering?
Mutual Benefit vs. Genuine Care:
There's nothing wrong with win-win situations, but it's crucial to recognize the difference between someone who genuinely cares and someone who's just along for the ride because it benefits them.
The Black Friday of Life:
Just like stores prep for Black Friday, some folks only show up when they need something from you. Real ones are there year-round, no sales necessary.
Keeping It 💯 In Your Relationships
So how do we apply this wisdom to our daily lives? Here are some tips:
Check the Timing:
Is this person only around when they need something? Or are they consistent in your life?
Observe Actions, Not Just Words:
Talk is cheap. What do their actions say about how much they value you?
Trust Your Gut:
If something feels off, it probably is. Don't ignore those instincts.
Reciprocity Check:
Is the relationship balanced, or are you always the one giving?
The Accountability Test:
Can this person hold themselves accountable, or is it always someone else's fault?
Remember, We Didn't Come To Be Defeated by fake love or conditional support. We're here to build real connections, foster genuine community, and lift each other up – not just when it's convenient.
Don't Forget To Hold Yourself Accountable too. Are you being genuine in your relationships? Are you giving from the heart, or only when it benefits you?
The Takeaway 💪🏾
Just like we can laugh at Facebook Marketplace's sudden generosity, we can learn to spot the difference between real support and opportunistic gestures in our lives. It's all about building a community of genuine care and mutual growth.
So next time someone's offering you their "free stuff," whether it's material things or their time and energy, take a moment to consider – is this coming from the heart, or is there a hidden 'Black Friday' agenda?
That's that, that's facts, and remember my people, we didn't come to be defeated. Let's choose wisely who we let into our inner circle. 🎯💯
