“Pedestal”
YOU might be reading this collective channeling—insights I have received from the Divine to assist YOU on your spiritual path because it resonates with YOU.
Placing someone on a pedestal blurs the line between admiration and idealization, creating an imbalance in the relationship (it is unfair to both parties involved).
One person is forced to live up to high expectations, and when they cannot, their perception of them changes, leading to a disconnect. Additionally, you may not feel motivated to improve yourself because you unknowingly derive satisfaction from this person’s positive qualities.
Every time you begin to blur the line between admiration and idealization, picture yourself falling at their feet and worshiping them. I know this is an extreme description, but it will hopefully cause you to snap out of it and look within to make positive changes for yourself.
Has anyone ever put you on a pedestal?
Have you put some on a pedestal?
Whenever someone puts you on a pedestal, remind them of the risks involved. Help them understand that healthy relationships require a willingness to address imbalances.
