Some people are best appreciated at a distance.
You've
heard it said, "Everything happens for a reason." This simple concept
not only applies to love and career, but it also speaks to our everyday
relationships. Each person that has come into our life, whether for a period of
days or years, arrived along our path to serve a purpose.
Many
times, we don't fully grasp when circumstances change and an individual no
longer adds value to our lives. Most people have difficulty figuring out what
to do once they realize this. While it may seem somewhat harsh or insensitive
to break ties, it is perfectly fine, and in fact, very healthy to cut people
off.
Here are
a few simple signs that it’s time to let someone go.
1. When You Are No Longer Happy To See Or Be Around Them
If their
presence becomes unsettling to your spirit, don’t ignore the signs. Your
instincts only pick up on the truth and seek to guide you accordingly. There
comes a time when things –– and people –– no longer bring you joy or happiness.
It is a sign that there is a need for change, and you have to take the
initiative to switch things up.
2. When They Offer Nothing But Negativity
Attitude
is everything. More so, we each have the power to speak things into existence.
For those with a positive outlook, the fruits of our thoughts and actions reap
positive rewards. Yet, for those who constantly complain or carry an attitude
of ungratefulness, the atmosphere becomes filled with gloom and negativity.
Individuals who always want to criticize other people show a sure sign of
wasting valuable time and energy on the wrong things and, ultimately, are not
deserving of yours.
3. When They Want (Or Take) More Than They Give
Relationships
are an exchange. It takes two people mutually invested in making each other
better, holding each other accountable and being of help when in need. Those
who are always first at the table and walk away with the most before
ever leaving anything for others must be forced to take their
appetite elsewhere. Relationships should never be more of a burden than a
blessing. When you start to feel used or taken advantage of, mentally or
spiritually, cut it off quickly.
4. When You Can No Longer Trust Them
Everyone
knows that trust is one of most essential factors in any form of relationship.
Once it is compromised, things might never be the same. Trust can take years to
build and a only a few moments to break. Those who claim a space in your circle
must be people you find trustworthy, reliable and genuinely concerned about
what is best for you. When the bond is broken or betrayal irreparably sets in,
find the exit.
5. When They Are No Longer Supportive
You
should always surround yourself with people who support you and your dreams.
Though support comes in many forms, the common thread is authenticity and
honesty. Those with a true desire to watch you win in life don’t care to offer
endless pats on the back or overlook your weaknesses –– they actively push you
to be the best version of yourself. Stay clear of those who bring you down
rather than lift you up.
All
things, including people and feelings, change. When they do change, it is only
fair for all parties involved to move on. Every decision you
make has a direct impact on your future. As a result, you should never feel
guilty for making choices that are in your best interests. You must remember:
It’s your life.
Cheers!
