A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down. Hatred imprisons the haters; love opens doors. Fear of something is at the root of hate for others and hate within will eventually destroy the hater.
Someone who smiles too much with you can sometimes frown too much with you at your back. You will never have to question the intentions or integrity of people who have your best interest at heart. "Most people want to see you do better but not doing better than them.” London Mond.
No person is your friend who demands your silence or denies your right to grow. Fake friends are like shadows. They follow you in the sun but leave you in the dark. People only throw shade on what’s shining. Friends ask you questions; enemies question you.
Letting go of toxic people in your life is a big step in loving yourself. You create more space in your life when you turn your excess baggage to garbage. Learn to use the criticism as fuel and you will never run out of energy. Knowledge planted in truth grows in truth. Strength born of peace loses nothing to hate. Some people think that the truth can be hidden with a little cover-up and decoration. But as time goes by, what is true is revealed and what is fake fades away.
We never lose friends. We simply learn who the real ones are. A friend who stands with you in pressure is more valuable than a hundred ones who stand with you in pleasure. Time passes and you begin to see, people for who they really are and not who they pretend to be. The jealous are troublesome to others but a torment to themselves. "Better an honest enemy than a false friend.” -German Proverb.
Sometimes it’s not the person who changes, it’s the mask that falls off. Being betrayed is one of the most valuable lessons life can teach.
