It is OK to leave some people behind.

There is a saying that who YOU are is the average or sum of the 5 people (or however many) you spend the most time with.

If you spend your time with criminals, convicts, and abusers, chances are you will probably end up a criminal as well.

But if you spend your time around people who are driven to succeed, then you will be compelled to elevate and achieve your own goals as well.

So if your mission is to level up in life, you will be forced to leave some people behind.

Because some people will only get you so far.

These might be good people who really care about you, and I’m not telling you to just drop them like a sack of potatoes.

But we have to live our lives intentionally, on every level, to achieve all the things we want.

And sometimes that means becoming aware of when someone’s current relationship level no longer serves you.

You don’t have to disconnect and never speak to them again. (Please don’t think I’m saying that, that’s ridiculous.)

But you may need to start spending more of your time with people who continue to elevate you, focusing on conversations that keep pushing you forward rather than pulling you back.

This is OKAY.

It is not selfish. It is not disloyal. It is not cruel.

Don’t let anyone guilt you for putting your needs first.

Needing to spend time with people who build you up is IMPORTANT. This kind of nourishment benefits EVERYONE, not just yourself.

When you are truly aligned to your highest frequency self and doing everything you can in order to nurture that person, then your success is your gift back to this planet.

Some people grow and elevate with us our entire lives, but others only come into our lives to teach us a specific lesson. Once that lesson has been learned, that person no longer brings the same kind of value to your life.

You start to realize that you’re becoming more, growing beyond the point where the relationship is helpful. It may become hurtful or draining, even if no one did anything wrong.

This is just how people grow apart.

You must stay focused on your journey.

When you are making the positive impact you were born to make, the painful changes you had to go through on the way become the necessary sacrifices that make your story real and beautiful.
