A good read… BRUTAL words from actor ANTHONY HOPKINS Let go of the people who are not ready to love you. It is the hardest thing you'll have to do in your life and it will be the most important thing. Stop having difficult conversations with people who don't want to change. Stop showing up for people who aren't interested in your presence. I know your instinct is to do whatever it takes to gain the appreciation of the people around you, but it's an impulse that robs your time, energy, mental and physical health. When you start fighting for a life of joy, interest and commitment, not everyone will be willing to follow you there. It doesn't mean you have to change who you are, it means you have to let go of people who are not ready to be with you. If you are excluded, offended, forgotten or ignored by the people you give your time to, you are not doing yourself a favor by continuing to offer them your energy and life. Truth is, you ain't for everyone and not everyone is for you. This is what makes it so special about meeting people you have friendship or love with. You will know the value of it because you have experienced what it isn't. There are billions of people on this planet and many of them will find them on your level of interest and commitment. If you stop showing up, maybe they won't look for you. When you stop trying, the relationship ends. If you stop texting, your phone might stay dark for weeks. It doesn't mean you ruined the relationship, it's just that the only thing that kept it going was the energy you only gave to keep it. This is not love, this is connection. It's giving a chance to those who didn't deserve it! You deserve much more. The most valuable thing you own in your life is your time and energy because both are limited. The people and things you give your time and energy to will define your existence. When you realize this, you start to understand why you are so anxious about spending time with people, activities, or spaces that don't suit you or shouldn't be around you. You will start to realize that the most important thing you can do for yourself and everyone around you is to protect your energy more fiercely than anything else. Make your life a safe haven where only people who are "compatible" with you are allowed. You're not responsible for saving someone. It’s not your responsibility to convince them to do better. It’s not your job to exist for people and give them your life! You deserve real friendships, real commitment and a full love with healthy wealthy people. Choosing to distance yourself from toxic people will give you the love, appreciation, happiness and protection you deserve. Copied from the internet.
