Post with Purpose- Understanding who is good for you and your growth. I was always impatient and wanted to make everyone a friend without thinking anything through. I never thought if they are actually good for me, do I get inspired by them or can I build a relationship where we can trust and grow. Just like before you get into relationships, you ask yourself if the other person is actually good for you. I am better at realizing who is actually good for me. Few things that I focus on now: 1. Is the person positive or negative about things in their life. Are they negative just because or they are actually going through something? 2. Do they compare everything they have with everything you have? Do they show interest or just try be interesting. Do they just want to be the best in everyone’s eye? Or they secure with themselves with who they are or what they have? 3. Do they support you in front of your face and talk bad about you to others behind you. This one you kind of get to know if you already made friends with wrong company. 4. Are they highly motivated or following a dream and meeting the goals of their plans? Or all they just talk? Do they have career or life goals. 5. Do they take disagreements in good way? Or they just want to win? Do they accept people or want to change them? 6. Do they talk bad about their family in front of public or group of friends? 7. I now pick up on people’s expressions or gestures while meeting them. Are they trying to be someone they are not. Eyes says a lot about the person, and so does attitude. 8. Do they make you feel good about your goals and improvements or rather say how they can’t do it or how it’s not important to them. I now ask questions like these to myself before I start investing in someone. It is SO important for you to realize who is good for you. Wrong company can hold your growth, put your focus on things that don’t matter and shift you away from becoming a better and positive person. As we grow older it is harder to make friends, And if you make them, focus on if they are good for you. Ask questions and get answers before trusting or building any relationship What lessons have you learned? http://liketk.it/2wqtX #liketkit @liketoknow.it
