so sorry to hear about the '"so-called" friends. I have had several. I had been friends with one since school but last year we had a difference in opinion on a person running for office and she hasn't spoken to me since

All because I didn't and still don't like this "candidate" because of things he has been caught doing.

ON the other hand I also have "family" that is the same way. My grandmother died last October, afterwords when they started talking about selling her house my husband and I said that we would be interested. The response I got from two of my uncles was the house has to stay in the family!! What am I frickin' chopped liver and that's what I told em'. I thought it may have been since I was married and no longer carried the "family" name but nope they said the same thing about my brother. But the darn hypocrites say it's okay for their kids to buy it.

Choose your friends wisely. Make sure they have the same values, work ethic and history of showing compassion as you do.

Some people are just users or only want you for good times. Learn to recognize the type and steer clear.

I can relate.

I manage rental property, even though I have a lot of nice neighbors, I can not be friends with any of them. If I am friendlier with them, they either toss all the rules in the trash or get really personally upset with them when I have to manage the property and tell them something they have to do. Even though, they are not my rules and it is just my job. No having a cup of coffee with a good neighbor for me.

No being friends with the contractors either, I have to be able to call their competition.

I take care of my mom a lot, but her friends are not mine.

And I stay home at night.

My best buddies are the pets and BF (and he lives out of state a good part of the year)

Life is a Theater.....

Invite Your Audience Carefully.

Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in your life.

There are some people in your life who need to be

loved from a DISTANCE.

It is amazing what you can accomplish when you

let go of those draining, negative, 'not going anywhere' relationships.

Observe the relationships around you.

Pay close attention....

Which ones lift, and which ones lean?

Which ones encourage, and which ones discourage?

Which ones are on an uphill path, and which ones are heading down?

When you leave certain people, do you feel better or worse?

Which ones always have drama?

Which ones really understand and appreciate you and the gifts that lie within?

Remember that the people you have around you will have an impact on your life,

your values, your dreams and ambitions.

So be careful when choosing the people you hang out with, as well as the information with which you will feed your mind.

We should not share our dreams with negative people, nor should we feed our minds with negative thooughts.

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

Choose wisely who will sit in your front row,

You can not change the people around you......

but

You can change the people you choose to be around

......WHOS IN YOUR FRONT ROW?
