Today's Meditation - Time to Dump Negative Friends - Here's Why
user
By Jane Powell -

"You have the opportunity and the responsibility to choose the
people in your life."
You are a grown woman and you can and should choose whom you spend
your time with.
It’s important to have people in your life who you know will
support you in being your best. People who are there to celebrate
your highs and there to support you through your lows. People who
support you in living a life that reflects your values, not values
of others.
Develop your own personal quality relationships with others. Forget
about being obligated or pressured by others to spend time with
people who don’t support you. In the end you’ll be richly fulfilled
and happier.

basically some people will suck up so much of your resources that they truly become vampires. They are not necessarily evil people, but they are taking more from you than they are giving back on a regular basis. Compassion is one thing, but being unfairly drained of mental energy, money, or time is not something you should accept on a permanent basis. People tend to come and go anyway, and sometimes it is just smarter to speed the process by cutting people off.

This is wonderful advice. It is liberating to leave behind those that hinder your life, however, it can be a difficult process. For me, it has even come to my family. I am sad that it had to come to this, but, I can still "love" them from afar, and pray that someday, perhaps peace can be restored amongst us. It is important to realize that this is a process and leaving people behind in your life, can bring it's own emotions along with it. If you remember and embrace the truth that You need to love yourself before you can truly love others, you will relieve the guilt that can accompany this journey, away from that and into that which is truly good. Be patient, as time does heal.

I am currently at this stage of making a big bold decision of getting out of a one-way relationship. I have tried so many times to understand and forgive the person who takes things for granted. I have to regain self love and respect. I know that time, friends and family heal all wounds. Right now I just need some encouragement.

This is the stage that I'm at in my life right now. I will be 30 in February and I am trying to move up in the world and not stay on the same path. I am getting rid of the negative people and keeping only positive ones in my life. Misery loves company and I'm not miserable so I don't want to be around those kinds of people.
