YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE BUT YOU CAN CHANGE THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
I once had a colleague who i looked up to. I treasured her opinions then but along the line we fell apart. From what i gathered, she said i was too ambitious and i am not contented and comfortable with where I am in life (which is just being a salary-earner)
She stopped picking my calls, she blocked me on social media. She went as far as recruiting mutual friends to turn against me. I was offended and i tried to explain myself to our mutual friends but it didn’t work out. I tried to remain in the friendship until i became a stranger to everone. That was when it dawned on me.
I can’t shange the people in my life but i can change the people in my life. I decided to ignore them all and forge a new course for myself and that happened to be the best decision i have made in recent years.
I got involved in my business.
I grew a different and better network.
I took more personal development courses
I learn to live and love life more
I simply became a better person.
All because One person turned against me.
Sometimes, we need to learn how to be enough to ourselves
We need to learn how to stop allowing people dictate our life for us
We need to learn how to trust that God won’t ruffle the water without showing us an island
We need to learn that we can be okay without certain people in our lives instead of allowing them to drag us down to suit them
Stand firm in the pursuit of your vision
Those who align with it will find you
Those who are not comfortable with it, will leave you
Those who will love and support you will stay and build with you
Don’t lower your standard for anyone.
Raise your friendship bar instead.
Be who you want to become and those who already are who you want to be will find you.
Grow
