Life is a Theater-- Invite Your Audience Carefully

Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row
seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be
loved from a distance.

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go
of, or at least minimize, your time with draining,
negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere
relationships/friendships.

Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention.
Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which
ones are going downhill?

When you leave certain people do you feel better or
feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't really
understand, know or appreciate you?

The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of
mind, love and truth around you,
the easier it will become for you to decide who gets
to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the
balcony of your life.

"If you cannot 'change' the people around you, change
the people you're around."
