Moving on

How many of you have friends that are not real supportive when you want to make changes that might bring you to your next level? I’m sure many of you do and you might not even realize it. Well I’m here to tell you that you have to cut the strings! I know, it sounds harsh especially if these might be life long friends we are talking about. Unfortunately if you continue to surround yourself with people who are expending more negative energy then positive you will never be able to rise above it. Well, I shouldn’t say never but it will be far more difficult then what it needs to be.

Let’s face it everyone you know should not have a director role in your life; that position belongs to you. So there comes a time when we have to take inventory of our friends and really make tough but necessary decisions. You know I’m all about loving yourself first and another step in really being able to do that is to make sure you are surrounding yourself with friends that are very supportive of your goals and what you are trying to accomplish. If you want to soar like an eagle then it is imperative that you stop hanging around pigeons!!!! Yes this may mean that you have to learn to do things by yourself but there is nothing wrong with that. Cleansing is necessary if you really want to move to the next level in your life. Don’t be content if you know deep inside that you are not being the best you that you can possibly be. Life is entirely too short so you owe it to yourself and your Creator to make it your best life.

Ladies, no one said that it would be easy but please believe me, you have to clean house because if you don’t you will constantly have people talking you out of what THEY are afraid of. It’s not for them so they probably won’t understand. Surround yourself with people that do understand. You have to because it is hard and there will be times when you feel like you can’t do it but when you are around people who have done it before they can relate and motivate you. When you stick with those who haven’t done and don’t have a desire to grow, when you are feeling nervous or afraid they will talk you right out of your dream.

To love yourself first, to love yourself inside and out you have to reach for those dreams and those desires. That’s how you begin to live your best life. It takes stepping outside of your comfort zone which often time means that everyone that is currently in your life can not come along. Most times you’ll find that they don’t even want to come along and they don’t want you to go either. You have to put an end to those relationships, even if they are family members! It’s time to move on and start living and loving your life.

  1. I am at this point right now with 2 of my friends. It seems that they have gotten so used to me adapting to their lives that they don't think twice about putting my needs to the side if I can't fit in with their plans. Friendship should be a 2 way street and I seem to be stuck on a one way road. Like you said though, these are friendships from way back when and I am still not quite ready to give them up.

  2. Sad but true! Sometimes you have to get rid of the old to allow the new in.

  3. Hi DeeDee,

    Well all I can say is if these two friends are not stimulating growth and positivity but only promoting negative vibes I think you have to let them go. It doesn't have to be a total shut out but maybe more of a gradual stepping away. But of course only you can decide what's best for you. Good luck!!
