The problem isn’t with you not being very intentional enough. The big problem is that you’re yet to accept the reality that you’re no longer their priority.
Passionately chasing those whose body language have consistently proven how irrelevant you mean to them, is like being very intentional about pouring water into an empty basket. A lifelong fruitless and foolish adventure.
The older we get, the more we learn to focus only on intentional people. Those who can go to any possible length to show to us that our peace, happiness and success means so much to them.
We’re now in the world where kindness is interpreted as being weak, patience as foolishness, and understanding as lack of intelligence. Never allow foolish or wicked people to train you to be mean.
The toughest battle in the history of mankind isn’t the first nor the second world wars, but the war betwixt the attention economy and the companion economy. We’ve never been this so connected online by technology and also disconnected offline by it.
WHEN PEOPLE EXCLUDE YOU, MAKE SURE YOU REMAIN EXCLUDED. SO MANY PEOPLE SPEND THEIR TIME TRYING TO FORCE THEIR WAYS INTO SPACES WHERE THEY’RE CLEARLY NOT WANTED. MOST TIMES NOT BEING INVITED ISN’T ALWAYS REJECTION SOMETIMES IS PROTECTION.
If your personal goals don’t alter your sleeping pattern, your eating habits, your lifestyle or the quality of friends you predominantly hang around, then that isn’t a goal but an optimistic wish.
