Who do you have in your inner circle? Do you consider the people who you share your time with a positive or a negative influence in your life? Do these people have your best interest? Do they even know what your interests are? Just because you have fun with someone doesn't make that person good for your growth in life. You may also have family members who do not have your best interests at heart. See, in order for someone to not be a toxic friend or family member, that person has to know you well enough to be able to know what your interests are. Positive influencers in your life know how to help you grow into a better YOU! They have seen as well as have been in situations with you and know first hand exactly what it is that hurts you and discourages you. They won't try to hurt you or discourage you. They know how to encourage the things that you are good at. They notice your talents and try to help you sharpen and perfect them. They see the potential in you. They don't want to change you, but want to help you be a better YOU! Your drinking buddy is not your best friend! The one who allows you to do drugs is not your best friend! A true friend will not encourage you in the wrong directions or assist you in your own destruction. True friends want to see you healthy and not unhealthy. Do you even know what a "real friend" is? A friend will tell you when you are either hurting them or someone else, or even yourself. Friends don't hurt each other, but they hold each other accountable when they notice if one or the other is hurting his/her own self. Are your friends good for you? Take a look at who's around you. Even your family may not be the right people in your life to help bring you to that next level. You have to know what you want first and express that to the people around you. Watch what happens after that. Either they will try to encourage you or discourage you. The people in your corner are the ones who will encourage you if what you are trying to do isn't destructive. So pay attention! Make sure that your inner circle is one that is constructive and supportive, and not destructive and toxic. - Allen J.
Sometimes in life we get the things that are not best. Those things are meant for us to not be indulging in unless they are the initial part of what makes us not have them later on. We aren't supposed to be indulging in those things after the situations that make us understand, after being burned within the way we have to prevent the entire fire from engulfing our lives , shows us that those things aren't to be a part of what it takes to make us satisfied with what we are to have. We understand that those things aren't for us to have. Baring guilt comes from re-entering the situations that taught us not to have specific things with the delusion that we can indulge or choose once again those things, or that thing that isn't for us to have. We are left with this fear that the consequences that we once suffered would somehow return. That fear is GUILT! We already understand that the same decision to choose or indulge in whatever gave unsatisfying results prior will only b...
