I honestly believe that
the only way to get to happiness is to be happy already. Many people live their
life according to the formula:
Do + Have = Be.
You don't need a fortune teller to tell you that you need to detox!
Life's formula does not mean that the only way you can be happy because first you have to do x, y and z. In other words, you have to have this and
that, have to do more, then have to do even more, you have to have lots
of money and lots of friends, etc. But why not just be
happy?
Gandhi once said you
have to be the change you want. Why? Because the mirror cannot change without you. And the world is only a mirror.
Remember, you see only
your thoughts. When you shift, shift happens. If you don’t, you simply
experience more of the same.
In order to be happy,
you have to do a friendship detox first.
You all have come across this type of person before; the drama queen, the attention addict, the
relentless pessimist, the exploiter.
We all have difficulty
getting rid of the friend that betrays you.
So, when poison pals infect your life, sometimes you just need to say goodbye
and good riddance!
Some friends, are just
not good for us no matter how hard we try to make things work. No one needs a control freak, or a
manipulating individual taking advantage of your good, kind, generous heart and
your wallet!
It all starts with small infractions and then they add up
and drag you down. In the process of
ridding yourself of everything that threatens your well being and causing
stressful days belongs in the same category with the trans fats that are bad
for your health. You have to read your friends the same way you read food labels.
These type of friends
don’t change, so stop giving them second chances month after month. The truth never fails to show itself, so get
rid of that liar of a friend.
You know in your heart
when you have a good friend. You also
know in your heart when you have a bloodsucking friend that is using you.
Keep the friends that
love you, as you have many!
Life is beautiful, you
just have to make some changes along the way.
I didn't say it would be easy, but it will be worth it for your well being.
It’s called “Friendship
Detox”. Next, we will start on detoxing
your closet!
Ah Rose, how right you are. I am grateful to be rid of the deceivers and the controllers. Life is happier without pretense.
ReplyDelete(There's nothing wrong with my closet.)
Our attitude towards life is everything. We get to choose just how we want our life to be and happiness is one choice I make daily. As far as the closet goes, I have a lot of friends there too...I love my comfy clothes. They may not be all that stylish, but I feel good in them and I think that is what counts.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one that needs to detox my closet and get rid of the clothes that no longer fit? LOL
ReplyDelete(Some of mine are family! - lol)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of “Friendship Detox”. Good information to know. Yes I have the same trouble with my closet.
ReplyDeleteWhen people ask me how I'm doing, I always respond, "I'm living a dream." And I am and it has nothing to do with what I own.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff. And all good basic information for a 'good' life. You are so right: MOST seem to follow that formula, Do + Have = Be.
ReplyDeleteI Love reading the positive helps that keep reminding us WHO WE ARE.
Thanks from Alabama for the night.
