We all have those people that no doubt, drive us crazy whether we mean that sarcastically or not. So then, have you ever thought about the impact they honestly have on our life?
Because if you are feeling down, discouraged, or even stuck in your life, maybe it's time to seriously evaluate the people you keep close. Are they helping you aim or drive closer to who you want to be and the goals you set, or are they even subconsciously contributing to working against them? Either way, their constant influence will eventually affect you and how you react when faced with decisions and obstacles.
Yes, it's extremely hard to cut loose the bonds we've made and established for years, but if you aren't growing or moving forward, what are you doing? If you aren't happy and content, are any other feelings something you want to genuinely feel day after day? And while we may think we can just accumulate new people to mix with the current, will we be assertive enough to stand up for ourselves when we need to? The best suggestion would be to distance yourself from the current group so that you can make room for people who will truly be by your side. Once you take that action upon yourself and make these positive changes, it will manifest outward, and you will start opening your eyes to whoever aligns more to your personality and goals.
Otherwise, if you don't, eventually you will become frustrated as that will be an indicator that something is "off" or going against the values within your life. The most important thing is that you don't simply ignore the signs. If your car is out of oil and you see that red light, but continue to drive, eventually you are going to have serious engine issues and no car left to drive. Just as if you got a flat tire and attempted to drive "just a bit further." You will have to replace not just a wheel which is expensive enough, but the entire wheel hub. You're not a car that can be repaired or replaced. So, in terms of yourself: how do you value yourself and the life you are aiming to live? What kind of maintenance are you willing to do to keep positive, encouraging, and supportive people around?
Unlike cars that maybe we can only dream of having, don't settle for mediocre people, friends. It will eventually drive you crazy.
