Thought For the Day

People come into your life for various reasons, but I do believe it can be put into 3 catagories: · To be for you · To be against you · To try and change you You must make the decision as to which category people in your life fall into. For those who are for you, they will make sure to be supportive, understanding, truthful, loving and helpful. For those against you, they will try to keep you from moving forward, they will make any and every excuse as to why you shouldn’t pursue your dreams, they will try and stand in the way of your progress and they will always try to deter you from upward mobility. For those who try and change you, they are not happy within themselves and as the saying goes “misery loves company”, they will try to bring you down to their level of thinking so they can try to control your actions and reactions, they will do whatever it takes to make themselves seem to be the better person or a better person than you. They want to change you for their satisfaction. Therefore, know yourself and what you desire out of life. Be cautious of those you let into your life. Let go of those who are not good for your life. And be real within yourself, for this will be the determining factor as to which category of people you will have in your life. Keep it real all the time, you do you and I’ll do mine; Don’t be a puppet on a string, be your own human-being; Make a determination as to who you let in and who you keep out, it's something to really think about; Staying true to yourself is key in every way, I’ll end this as the thought for the day.
