It should be a regular practice to assess the relationships in your life, especially if you are a person that practices self-improvement. As you improve, your needs and wants will change. Your boundaries will shift (hopefully for the better), you become more self-aware, self-accountability improves, and so forth. Often times as you evolve, others stay the same, and you eventually outgrow them.
Think about the company you keep and the relationships you invest in and ask yourself:
- Does this relationship energize me or drain me?
- Does this relationship cultivate my growth or stunt it?
- Does this relationship consists of reciprocity, or is the other individual only a taker?
- Does this relationship allow me to be free and who I am, or does it feel like I am on eggshells?
- Does this relationship empower me to be myself, or have I lost all individuality?
There is more to consider, but these are a few things to ponder. Anything not adding to you is subtracting from you. As you change, some people will become a direct violation of who you are striving to be. Others who prevent you from being your best self or tend to bring the worst out of you consider letting them go. You want to surround yourself with people you can grow with, not people who will pull you down. You have to allow those people to live alone in their own hells.
Reevaluate those in your life. Then clean house if necessary.
