Pick them wisely

People inspire you, or they drain you – pick them wisely.
- Hans F Hansen

The greatness that you are

Don’t you dare, for one more second,
surround yourself with people
who are not aware of the greatness that you are.

Some people can stay in your heart

At some point, you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart but not in your life.

Let go of all the toxic people in your life

Until you let go of all the toxic people in your life,
you will never be able to grow into your fullest potential.
Let them go so you can grow.

Some people just act like they are trying to help you

Don’t depend too much on anyone...

Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world.
Because even your shadow leaves you when you’re in darkness. 

Never be dependent to anyone in this world
because even your own shadow leaves you when you’re in darkness.

Fear of trusting people

Pistanthrophobia
is the very common fear of trusting people
due to past experiences with relationships gone bad.

Why it’s so hard to trust people...

People ask me why it’s so hard to trust people.
And I ask them why it’s so hard to keep a promise.

Loneliness and trust

One of the key ideas in loneliness research is trust and what they have found is that the more trusting you are as an individual the less likely you are to have problems with loneliness…

The more distrustful you are, one researcher used the word automatic, you will automatically start having more problems with loneliness. And you can take that back to childhood where you can learn a trusting way of being with your care giver or you can learn perhaps that care giver isn’t someone you can fully trust. And if the latter scenario was true for you you’re going to be less and less trusting, not just of your care giver but of the other people you come across in life.

That’s usually referred to as “anxious attatchment” and if that is the situation you’re facing, if you’ve grown up rightly or wrongly thinking that the only person you can truly rely on is yourself, you will definitely be a good candidate for loneliness.

Goodbye

If someone won’t lift a finger to call you, see you, and spend time with you,
It’s time for you to lift 5 fingers and wave goodbye.

Those who see the greatness within you

Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers,
the believers and the thinkers, but most of all,
surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you,
even when you don’t see it yourself.
- Edmund Lee

People who make you hungry for life

Surround yourself with people who make you hungry for life, touch your heart, and nourish your soul.

Keep people in your life that...

Keep people in your life that truly love you,
motivate you, encourage you, inspire you,
enhance you and make you happy.
If you have people who do none of the above,
let them go.

Be your own hero

Sometimes you just gotta be your own hero and save your own little heart.
Because sometimes, the people you can’t imagine living without, can actually live without you.

Terribly real thing in a terribly false world

“You,” said he, “are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world,
and that, I believe, is why you are in so much pain.”

Too short to waste

Life is short.
Too short to waste a single second with anyone
who doesn’t appreciate you and value you.
- Sarah Dessen

Never forget 3 types of people in your life:

1 who helped you in difficult times
2 who left you in difficult times
3 who put you in difficult times

Before it’s too late

Make sure the important people in your life know they are important before it’s too late.

Genuine people

Genuine people don’t come around too often.
If you find somebody real enough to stay true, keep them close.

There’s no use in wasting your time on people that leave you.

When someone walks out of your life, let them. There’s no use in wasting your time on people that leave you. What you make of yourself and your future is no longer tied to them. Yeah, you may miss them. But remember that you weren't the one that gave up.
