Some people are only in your life for what they can gain from you.
The day you can no longer offer those benefits, their absence will reveal their true intentions.
But the people who choose you over your benefits and remain when you have nothing to give?
That's your real circle
Sometimes we don't judge behavior, we judge social status. A wealthy church member shakes your hand, we call it 'confidence'. A poor struggling member does the same, it's 'disrespect'.
I'm proud of myself. I'm proud I fully defined myself outside church walls.
I'm proud I'm finally learning to embrace what makes me different
I'm proud I'm taking my shots at opportunities I once used to be shy about.
I'm proud I'm learning to pause and celebrate my little wins
Study the lives of great people and you'll find a common thread. At a point in their lives, someone gave them a chance. That opportunity sparked a chain of events leading to greatness. Even @elonmusk had a defining NASA opportunity. Nobody makes it alone.
Iโve noticed that people who describe themselves as โbrutally honestโ are usually only brutal when it comes to pointing out the negative. Why arenโt they just as honest about the good in people?

Sometimes you have to leave for a while to be valued.
It's how humans are weird. We appreciate things better when they are far away than when they are near.
I woke up one morning telling myself I was going to do this. I just felt someone was having a bad day and this would put a smile on their face.
Glad it did
