Sometimes you just outgrow people.

Sometimes you outgrow yourself.

Sometimes you outgrow your environment.

Sometimes you outgrow who you wanted to be, and sometimes you outgrow who you became.

It might have all been positive.

You may have come a long way, but sometimes you have toe move on.

Sometimes you just outgrow people.

You don't need to hate them.

You don't need to cut them off.

But you do need to distance yourself from them.

If you want to live your best life.

Maybe that is what is best for them to.

That person may have had only good intentions for you.

They may have given you everything they could, but sometimes you have to move on.

Not in a negative way in a positive way for your growth and for theirs.

You should surround yourself with people who are good for your mental health, people who give you energy, not drain it from you.

People who like you up, not those who dim your life.

People who make you smile when you hear their name or see their call coming in.

Those friends who could go days, weeks, months without seeing you.

But when they do the bond is still strong because you care for each other, Warren Buffett said.

Surround yourself with people who push you to do better.

No drama or negativity, just higher goals and higher motivation, good times and positive energy.

No jealousy or hate simply bringing out the absolute best in each other.

One of the greatest realizations any human can have is the effect people around you have on your life.

They say you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

That doesn't just count in financial terms.

It also means energy.

You're the average of the positivity or negativity of the five people you spend the most time with.

You're the average of the happiness or lack of it.

Of the five people you spend the most time with, your the average of the kindness or lack of it.

Of the five people you spend the most time with, people can really bless you or mess you up with their energy.

You have to be so careful who you allow in your energy space on a consistent basis.

So many people think they don't have a choice.

You do your energy is your choice you decide who you let in your space, and if you let negative people in, it's always your choice.

If you're going to let their negative energy, you have to remember to take care of yourself.

Sometimes we get so caught up and worrying about other people that we forget to look after ourselves first.

You cannot show up as the best version of you if you're not taking care of you first.

And the first step to taking care of you was giving yourself time by yourself.

Toe work on yourself.

If you're really going to take care of yourself, it's also very important you evaluate your circle.

Who are you spending the majority of your time with?

Are they making you feel better about yourself or worse?

Are they supporting you and the direction you want to go in life or taking you down a path you don't want to travel?

Is their behavior aligned with yours?

Does it feel better with them or without them?

If you've outgrown these people, maybe it's timeto limit your interactions with them and explore what life might be like in a more positive space On Lee, you can decide that and take those steps if you believe it is right for you.

But most people don't take that step.

The fear of the unknown keeps them locked in a prison of negativity.

A gated community of misery and toxic energy.

You have to find the courage to free yourself from this prison.

You deserve better.

But you only get better if you're brave enough to explore life with people who are in alignment with your values.

Choose people who choose You.

Choose to be the one who lifts others up.

Aziz.

Well, choose to be the friend, the partner, the person you want most in your own life.

Pay attention to the people who care those who are always there.

Those who want better for you.

Those who share the same values, those air your people.

If someone is treating you bad, you have to remember there is something wrong with them, not you.

They are the one who needs the work, not you.

Good people don't go around putting others down.

People who feel good about themselves don't go around putting others down.

They just don't, as the saying goes.

Life.

It's so much simpler when you stop explaining yourself to others and just do what is right for you.

Do what is right for you.

Because that is what is right for everyone.

Trust that when you get to that place where you have no need to impress others or seek validation and just be yourself.

That is when your freedom will begin.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Mhm, yeah.

Mhm, yeah.
