KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOURSELF

When I was young most of my friends were close relatives and friends from the neighborhood. But as I started going to school things changed, in nursery everyone is your friend then at primary level your friends start to narrow down to those you share interests with. Then in secondary your first friends are the people you know and probably studied with in primary. As time goes on your friends become the people who will stick by you through the thick and thin, those who have your best interests at heart and those who wish you the best.

When you reach a point in your life when you can become real and true to yourself, you will no longer have space for people who constantly pull you down and make you feel bad about yourself. The only way you can become real and true to your self is by knowing your strengths and weaknesses, your purpose in life, who you are, who you want to be, how you want to get there, your goals, the objectives to achieving your goal and most importantly know your worth.

No amount of negative criticism can pull you down when you know your worth. Be optimistic and positive, it will attract positive things and positive people into your life. At this point in life, you can longer have space for negative people in your life. I never let people go, I just simply move on because if I keep having people who direct me away from what I want in life, they will make me lose myself. No offence but if I stop being your friend, it is not you with the problem, I just realized that I am too good for you.

People constantly walk in the shadows of others, pretend to be what they are not just to please society. Well, you only live once so live a life that pleases you not others because you are living for yourself and not for anyone. God put us on earth for a purpose, so why waste it trying to please others. The moment you accept yourself for who you are and know what is good for you is the moment you will start to feel alive.
