They Are Your Real Friends

People are calling you. Your friends are calling you. The question is, ‘Are you listening to them?’

If you want to hear, you must pay attention. Listen for something. Listen to your people, people who love you, who are for you, no matter what is going on in your life.

Your people, people who are willing to do whatever it takes to help you succeed. They are your true friends.

If you want to make a difference in the world, you need true friends. You do not need people who are not for you. You do not need any dream killers. You need more dreamers.

Do not ignore your real friends. You must listen to them. They know you. They know what you can do. When they are talking, just listen.

Because they are your true friends. Because they want you to succeed in your own life.

You need them. Because when they see things that are not good, that are not going to help you succeed, things that are unproductive, they will not stand for them. They will do something about them. They will bring them to light. Because they know that they are not going to get better if nothing is done about them.

Remember, nothing gets better by itself. If you want to know more about something, get closer to it. The closer, the better.

The Cost Of Being True To Yourself

Nothing is free. ‘Everything comes with a price.’ Life comes with a price. Success comes with a price. Peace comes with a price. Growth comes with a price. Love comes with a price. Relationships cost something. Because nothing is free. Even your own growth is going to make some people unhappy. Because you are going forward. It is going to happen. But do not focus on what other people are saying about your life.

If you can just focus on what you are doing, if you can let go of people who are working day and night to bring you down, if you can trust yourself, if you can find your own way in your life, if you can trust your way, if you do not allow other people’s negative comments to distract you, if you can manage those who are not happy with you, if you can stop trying to please everybody, then you are being true to yourself.

No matter what is going on in your life, being true to yourself is the best way to go. Do not lie to yourself. Do not put yourself last. Do not try to make everyone your friend. Do not try to apologize for your success. Be proud of your failures. Because they made you who you are today.

But life comes with a price. Are you willing to pay it?
