Firm yet loving Clarity:

Stay in your heart,

Stay out of your head,

and stay away from the beings who do not serve your highest good.

And if you can't avoid them ...

Just BREATHE...and let them spin out on their own.

Sometimes the kindest thing to do is to just leave people to their own devices and let them find their own realization, while you maintain a steadfast, balanced position of Love.

This is not weak. It is actually very powerful.
