Do they lift you up or bring you down?
The people in your life. Do they lift you up or do they bring you down?
You do not need to be dependent on other people to validate you, for your self-esteem and self-confidence, and how you see yourself. You can value all types of relationships without being dependent on them for your state of being, your personal energy, your happiness.
Through personal development, you can reach a state where your self-worth and self-confidence come entirely from within. They are indifferent to external influences.
But most people are and always will be affected by the people around them. In that case, do they lift you up or do they bring you down?
Jim Rohn said, “you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with”.
Who do you spend most of your time with?
Are they naysayers? Do they bring you down, bring negative energy into your life?
Or do they lift you up, bring positive energy into your life, support you?
If they bring you down, you don’t need that ****. People often behave this way for reasons that are much more about their own baggage.
Their own ego.
Their own fear.
Their own risk aversion.
Their own regrets.
Their own jealousy.
Their own drama.
If you are trying to ‘improve’ yourself, pursue your life purpose and challenge yourself, spend less or ideally no time around these people.
This applies to family and ‘friends’ too. This behaviour is not a demonstration of their love for you. Sure they love you, but it is not reflected in their behaviour. If they are not willing to evolve with your changing circumstances and support you regardless, step back from them.
While we can debate the ‘five’, Jim Rohn’s point is well made.
