The Tiny Tweaks That Made The Biggest Difference In My Life
Number 1: I Dropped The Negative People From My Life.
I realized that if I had to deal with the constant negativity, the excuses and the lies they gave my way, that they had to offer me something of incredible value in return.
I love my family and they love me, which is something incredible they give me in return for all I have to put up with.
Most of my friends, however, were not on that same page.
Dealing with that much negativity for seemingly very little return seemed like a very bad trade to make.
Having a stronger self-image makes you realize that you can do so much more and these people are just putting you down, but you often only realize this after you let them go.
Nowadays I value myself enough for people to have to come to me, try to entice me with value or with something that shows me that they are worth my time.
This might seem arrogant, but the truth is I just have other things that I would rather do.
There are people that I enjoy spending time with, and that is the value that they entice me with, but if the person is just negative, then they have to bring something amazing to the table or else I chose to spend my time on better things.
