@triplehardpass: Most people keep toxic friends. I realized that being aware of someone else's bad behaviors is so important. When we see a disconnect between their actions and our values, we have to decide early if we want to continue the interaction. We have the freedom to choose who gets our time and energy. Our value systems do not need to align with everybody's. There will always be people who disagree with us. But here is the part I had to learn it goes both ways. If we want to be in someone else's lives, we have to be the quality of person we want in our own. It is not fair to expect integrity from others if we are not living it ourselves. The benefits of acting from a place of strong integrity now are significant. Stop waiting for the future to be aligned. Disappoint the people who were never going to be satisfied anyway. #boundaries #selfrespect #integrity #harddecisions #mindsetshift #selfmastery #growthjourney #newchapter
