Trust is valuable, so stop giving unlimited access to people who repeatedly prove they cannot steward your heart, loyalty, or confidence with integrity.
Your talent may open doors and create opportunities, but godly character, integrity, humility, and faithfulness will sustain you once God allows you to walk through them.
Some may call you difficult when you establish healthy boundaries, but refusing to be manipulated is not being difficult, it is walking in wisdom, discernment, and knowing the value God placed within you.
