You know what I have noticed a lot lately?
The more dedicated I become to being a better version of myself, the less I want to be around people who disrupt that.
I have become so aware of how my life is when my shit is all together and how good it feels, that very little will get me to give it up.
Now take this in perspective, I am still not perfect at this by any means, but I have gotten way better.
It is funny, because I have no desire to be around people who only speak negative, pressure me to make bad choices, or make me feel bad for doing what I know is the better choice.
It just so happens, that I like to be scheduled.
I like to make the right choices with my food.
I like to be active and do active things, and I like to talk about success, opportunity, and enjoying life.
So, if these things are not something you are into, that is okay by me.
We just probably won't be seeing a lot of each other.
This used to cripple me. I would have such a follower, fear of missing out mentality that I would buckle my standards just to be like the people I was with.
I urge you all to break free from this mental trap. You have no idea how freeing it is to just have your shit together and not care what anyone else has to say about it.
Sure, my circle has shrunk, and that doesn't mean I don't still love and enjoy other people. It just means I am aware of what I want and what they want. That can be different yes, but it means we are on a different page and that’s the way life is.
We think we are free due to lack of discipline and boundaries, but I would argue that the true freedom is on the other side, where discipline and control are valued and practiced.
Try it in one area of your life, set a standard and do not budge from it, audit the circle of people in your life that do not support it, and see how free you feel in that area after three months.
It is life changing.
