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.

Why You Should Be True To Yourself

Do not be afraid to love yourself, to be who you are, to take action to make your life better. If you do not take action to express your true Self, you are not going to be able to get what you want. People are not going to care about you. Because you are not living your life.

Remember, living your life is attractive. When you are true to yourself, people see it. They will come to you. Because people want to be around other people who are doing well.

Do not limit yourself. You can live your life, no matter where you are. You can stay true to who you are. You can achieve success without trying to copy other people, without trying to be like anyone out there. Even if you do it, it is not going to work. Why? Because you can’t be like another person. You are different. You are you.

That is why you should be true to yourself, no matter what. Do not let people talk you out of your growth. Because being true to yourself is good for you. It is good for your health, for your success. And it is good for your happiness.

When you are true to yourself, you act in a positive way. You do things that make you happy, things that make you come alive.

If you want to express your real self, you have got to be true to yourself.
