Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo. But what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
Success is a very important factor in knowing who really has your back. Some of us, have the knack of carrying others on our backs as we climb the ladder of success. While others, pull and push people down to go over them. They like the shortcuts.
This is also true for growth, when you're struggling to grow into a better version of yourself, there are many people who will remind you of your mistakes and bad choices, at this time you may stumble and come down a few steps. You remember and thrive on the guilt of your past ~ the key is to accept it, yes, you made some inappropriate decisions but they don't define you. Nothing defines you more than your journey to bettering yourself!
Understand who is growing with you and who is just baggage.
Get rid of Negative people in your life in order to have positive change.
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions! Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
How do you then identify a Negative person?
A person who complains and dumps their problems on you but doesn’t do anything to change their situation. Someone who is not supportive. Someone who makes you feel badly about yourself. Someone who shoots down your bright ideas, big goals, or bold (and risky) decisions. Toxic people are usually in a place in their life where they are not open to constructive feedback or changing, so they are stuck in their current situation and don’t have the insight to see beyond their own struggles.
You need to create space for positive change to happen. Being in toxic relationships with people and allowing their negative energy into your life will hold you back from manifesting opportunities for success. Also, releasing negative people creates space for positive people to enter, who will encourage, support, and help you grow as a person. You need to feel as if you’re worthy of achieving your goals and changing into the person you want to be. Letting go of any negativity in your life will help you get there faster.
Instead of changing your expectations or lowering your standards, change the people you expect things from and lower their position in your life.
We need to set boundaries for people otherwise you will will always attract people who take advantage of you. Don't be afraid to say no. It doesn't mean you are a bad person, it means you care about your alignment.
You can do two things, either you can get rid of negative people in your life or being so positive that your positivity drowns out or even transforms their "negativity", Help others rise up with you. But this is also true ~ that you can't rise another up, if you're not rising yourself up.
Who do you turn to when you need someone to have your back? Think about who's there for you when you need it the most. I know who I can count on when I need them, and so should you. 🙂
When you're struggling you just need to reach out to someone that will speak life into you and remind you of your purpose.
Love,
