I Am Not a Doormat!
By Melissa Aytche
Do you feel like people walk on you? Do you feel that your emotions don’t count? It doesn’t matter if this is a friend, family member, boyfriend, girlfriend, or even spouse we are all affected by these. My life experience was exactly this. Through a series of bad relationships, friendships, and a decline in my own confidence I became what I hated. Through time I started learning key lessons through my work that changed not only how I worked but changed my life for good.

I have been cheated on, betrayed by friends, driven apart from family and many other things. I was as low as you could feel at times. Feeling like I had no worth I began my journey to my life today. Many of us experience these situations in life and can learn to control them. I didn’t want to live my life miserable. I wanted to have a fulfilling life where I was part of the decisions and had a voice.

I like many people lived a life trying to make people happy and in turn was miserable myself. I was stuck and didn’t know what to do. Over time I took lessons I learned and applied them to my life and found a remarkable difference in how my life changed.
You are not alone. I remember feeling alone in my feelings as I looked around and saw so many people that seemed happy I became more miserable feeling that I was truly alone. I had lost me!

To truly understand where I have come you first should know where I have been. I have felt the experience of many of the following things in my life:

Cheating
Drugs and Alcohol
Toxic Friends
Weight Issues
Low Self Esteem

I had become what I hated and I needed a change. I found my change in lessons I learned from my business environment. With great leadership and guidance I learned how to be successful in business and soon learned to apply some of these same principles to my own life. As my career grew so did my personal life. Many things changed in my life from those days, but the values I learned and experiences drive me today.

Let me give you a few examples of some of my life lessons:

Patience and control of my emotions
Communication and understanding people
Picking my battles and the definition of this
Trusting myself!

Years after making significant changes in my life I have been happier, but I have learned that my lessons don’t end and each one takes me further in life. These lessons have led me to new friends, marriage, happy family, weight loss and much more. My inspiration brought me here where through my experiences and healing I bring to you my story. Sure we all have hard times, but it is how we deal with those that make the difference in our lives. If you are feeling like your life is not your own then the only one who can change it is you.
