Happiness is the most valuable currency, and you’re directly responsible for your own. It requires careful consideration and thorough maintenance to keep your cup filled, and that sometimes means letting go of some things and some people. It's no secret that on every journey, to make it to the end of the line, you need to let go of what’s weighing you down, what’s slowing you down, and everything that doesn’t add value to your journey
It might be sad having to say goodbye to your childhood friends, people you've known all your life, because you don’t seem to have aligning goals, but if it doesn’t serve the purpose, you have to learn to distance yourself from it before the damage becomes too much to bare
Distance yourself from people who can't say no to others, even when they are doing wrong, only because they’re his/her friends. People who let others dig their own graves while they're watching, without warning them about the dangers they’re putting themselves in
Distance yourself from people who would rather let the majority suffer and starve, to save the minority. People who would rather have all the food on their plates than share with those in need
People who always pick up faults from others, but never on themselves. People who always blame others, even when they're directly responsible for the problem
Distance yourself from people who will hurt you and blame you for the pain you feel. Those who will force you to take responsibility for the pain they caused you. I’m talking about those “If you didn’t say that, I wouldn’t have” “If you didn’t do that, I wouldn’t have done it” “if you were here, I wouldn’t have cheated” “I was lonely because you were not there” those kind of people never take responsibility for their actions, never realized how deep their actions can go
In fact, you must distance yourself from people whose satisfaction lies in seeing other people hurting. This life is way too hard as it is, before anyone does anything. For that reason, we need to distance ourselves from people with a mission to add more burden
Distance yourself from people who find pleasure in making fun of other people’s shortcomings. We are not perfect, all of us. Some have broken legs, some have misplaced hips, but nobody woke up and chose to look like that
Once arguments start to be the way to symbolize how much you love each other, once the fights start to last more than a day, it time to distance yourself. Even if they're mad at you, they're still obligated to check up on you. How are you feeling? Did you eat today? etc. He/she can ask about a missing sock since the last time you were there, which you know nothing about. It doesn’t matter, because hearing your voice for someone who knows you very well should be enough to determine how you’re doing
Distance yourself from people who always accept everything, people who are always comfortable with the little they have, even when they can do more. You’ll never see growth around those, because to them, everything is fine, it’s acceptable
Distance yourself from people who only recognize something looks amazing when it's theirs, those who would rather have everything and never share with anyone, even those who are desperately in need of
In fact, you must distance yourself from people who only celebrate change when it goes their way, those who get mad at you for doing something without their consent. I’m talking about those who stop calling you because you bought a new jacket. Why didn’t you invite me when you went shopping? That’s gonna be their argument because to them, you need their approval to do something for yourself
Distance yourself from people who prefer to hold everything, those who won’t tell anyone when they know something. A job opening becomes available at their workplace, and they tell nobody. So and so is selling shares, they tell nobody, that kind of people deserve to be friends with “nobody” because that’s who they share everything with “nobody.”
Distance yourself from people who take no initiative to learn new things, you'll be stuck in 1970 in 2030 because those kinds of people only appreciate one way of doing things, the way it’s been done. They’ll fight you in every way possible when you try another way
While at it, also distance yourself from people with the perception that you need to know someone to reach higher levels in life. Those kinds of people are dangerous, they know nothing about being fair, and they would never hesitate to push you off the ledge so they can take your place
You know yourself, your personality, what you want, and where you wanna be. You know what you want to achieve, when to achieve it, so distance yourself from everyone whose mission isn't helping you get there. I'm talking about those who are comfortable doing nothing with their lives
We all have different goals, different priorities, and different everything. Learn to distance yourself from those with priorities that are different from yours, especially those with priorities that delay your progress. It’s never easy moving away from people you’ve been with for a long time, trust me, I know, but sometimes stepping into the unknown is the best decision you’ll ever take, and sometimes the most rewarding thing you’ll ever do
