Simplify Your Friendships

‘When you simplify your friendships, you are well on your way to leading a richer, fuller, more joy-filled life.’– Bill Hybels

Life is about people. It is about making the right connections. It is not about surrounding ourselves with the wrong people.

Follow great people. But stay away from the wrong ones. Why?

Because great people make you better. They make you bigger than you really are. If you are with people who are always taking from you, they are not the right ones for you.

If you are always giving, they are always taking, then you have got to look elsewhere for better people.

Be comfortable with who you are. Why is that important?

Because if you are not okay with yourself, you won’t be okay with others.

Do Not Just Focus On Yourself

Yes, do not just focus on yourself. The world is bigger than you. If you do not want to disappoint people who are counting on you, if you don’t want to fail yourself, you must break out of your comfort zone.

Get out of your familiar zone. Look out for other people. People need help. Yes, you can’t help everybody, but you can help somebody.

Whatever it is you can do to help yourself, to make the world a better place, do not delay. The world is waiting for you. People are waiting for you to act. People are counting on you. People are rooting for you.

Yes, it is not going to be easy, but you can do it. Make yourself uncomfortable. Do not focus on people you like. Because the world is bigger than those you like. The world is bigger than you. Remember, helping other people is helping yourself. Why not give it a try?
