One-Way Ticket

Chances are, you have a whole bunch of people in your life. Some you want there and some you probably prefer get a one way ticket elsewhere. I get it. The fact of the matter is, you get to decide who is going to link arms with you to journey through life. But who are you going to choose?

Sometimes, okay, most times, I have a very trusting heart. I want to think the best of every person I come into contact with. Rookie mistakes. You can't let everyone had a handle on your life and your surely can't let everyone speak into your life. If there is one thing I have learned, I learned that people will go a mile to put you down to build themselves up. The important thing to learn is how to put those people in a position to no longer speak into your life. It is crucial to have a community of people around you to journey with you, make sure to choose them cautiously. 

The past few months, I have started to realize how important it is to take time for yourself: take time to read your bible, take time to pray, take time to journal. Be present in your life. The times you spend in solitude will strengthen your relationships with others. After all, if you don't know who you are, how can you determine who should be speaking into your life? If you don't spend time in solitude, how can God reveal things to you?

Do yourself a favor, make it a habit to spend time with yourself. Do yourself a favor, find a community to walk through life with. Cut the negatives, cut the people who try to put you down, cut the people who can't just journey through your life with you. Be with people who can speak truth with you, be with people that want the best for you, be with people who support you in your journey. 

You are worth it.
