Sometimes You Just Outgrow People
Sometimes you just outgrow people. Sometimes you outgrow yourself. Sometimes you outgrow your environment. Sometimes you outgrow who you wanted to be. Sometimes you outgrow who you have become.
It might have all been positive and you may have come a long way, but sometimes you have to move on. Sometimes you just outgrow people. You don’t need to hate them, you don’t need to cut them off, but you do need to distance yourself from them if you want to live your best life.
Maybe that is what is best for them – that person may have had only good intentions for you, they may have given you everything they could, but sometimes you have to move on.
Not in a negative way, but in a positive way for your growth and for theirs.
You should surround yourself with people who are good for your mental health. People who give you energy, not drain it from you. People who light you up, not those who dim your light.
People who make you smile when you hear their name or see their call coming in.
Those friends who could go days weeks months without seeing you but when they do the bond is still strong because you care for each other.
Warren Buffett said, “Surround yourself with people who push you to do better.” No drama or negativity just higher goals and higher motivation, good times, and positive energy. No jealousy or hate, simply bringing out the absolute best in each other.
One of the greatest realisations any human can have is the effect people around you have on your life. They say you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with. That doesn’t just count in financial terms, it also means the energy you’re the average of the positivity or negativity of the five people you spend the most time with.
People can really bless you or mess you up with their energy.
You have to be so careful we do allow in your energy space on a consistent basis. So many people think they don’t have a choice BUT you do. Your energy is your choice. You decide who you let in your space and if you let negative people in it’s always your choice. If you’re going to let their negative energy you have to remember to take care of yourself.
Sometimes we get so caught up and worrying about other people that we forget to look after ourselves first.
You cannot show up as the best version of you if you are not taking care of you first.
The first step to taking care of you is giving yourself time by yourself to work on yourself. If you’re really going to take care of yourself it’s also very important you evaluate your circle.
Who are you spending the majority of your time with? Are they making you feel better about yourself or worse? Are they supporting you in the direction you want to go in life?
Or are they taking you down a path you don’t want to travel? Is their behavior aligned with yours? Does it feel better with them or without them?
If you’ve outgrown these people maybe it’s time to limit your interactions with them and explore what life might be like in a more positive space. Only you can decide that and take those steps if you believe it is right for you.
Most people don’t take that step in the fear of the unknown which keeps them locked in a prison of negativity a gated community of misery and toxic energy.
You have to find the courage to free yourself from this prison. You deserve better but you’ll only get better if you’re brave enough to explore life with people who are in alignment with your values.
Choose people who choose you. Choose to be the one who lifts others up as well. Choose to be the friend, the partner, the person you want most in your own life.
Pay attention to the people who care, those who are always there. Those who want better for you. Those who share the same values.
Those are your people.
If someone is treating you bad you have to remember there is something wrong with them, not you. Good people don’t go around putting others down. People who feel good about themselves don’t go around putting others down, they just don’t.
As the saying goes “life is so much simpler when you stop explaining yourself to others and just do what is right for you.”
Do what is right for you because that is what is right for everyone.
Trust that when you get to that place will you have not need to impress others or seek validation, and you will just be yourself. That is when your freedom truly begins.

This is a mouthful ✨
Thank you so much.
Woow ilove this 💖some people love you if you have something if you dont have nothing that where you notice that they were after something not because they love you.
Indeed you are never too old to learn this has hit a nerve in me. Birds of the feather flock together and with me was always difficult to fit in , only later to realise i didn’t belong and there was nothing wrong with me. Now after my accident being wheelchair bound i now know who my friends are and which people to let into my space as i navigate this new normal in my life. I don’t feel bad being cutoff from other people. You rather be alone than be surrounded by toxic people. #rubybox #RiseUpBeautifulYou
