Cut them off! Is it that easy?
<p><em>"Cut them off!"</em></p><p><em>"If friends aren't lifting you up, it’s time to let them go."</em></p><p><em><br></em></p><p>I’ve always been a staunch supporter of that mantra.</p><p>Come January, many of us reassess our circles and consider who stays and who goes. </p><p>But, here’s the truth: merely cutting ties doesn't guarantee progress. </p><p> <strong> .................</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Is it that easy to let people go, especially if they haven’t done anything wrong?<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></p><p>I’d say it’s a yes and a no. </p><p><br></p><p>Yes, because your path forward takes precedence over clinging to relationships that drain you. </p><p>And no, because those friends may have contributed to your life in some way, even if it’s hard to see.</p><p><br></p><p>So, is it wise to suddenly cut them off? </p><p><br></p><p>Honestly, I’ve faced this before and I will share with you some insight to balance it.</p><p><br></p><p>It’s all about <strong>limited association. </strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><br></span></p><p>And, it is as simple as, don’t spend three <strong>hours</strong> with someone you should only see for three <strong>minutes</strong>! <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"> </span></p><p>You know that those daily chats about inconsequential matters doesn’t help your growth.</p><p>Start by trimming those conversations and visits down to twice a week. </p><p>Next, aim to adjust to just once every two weeks. </p><p><br></p><p>Now, that you’ve streamlined your relationships, nothing major has changed, not until you seek out for those who share your values, invest time with them-<strong> expand your association;</strong> they’ll guide you on your journey. </p><p><br></p><p>Does this approach sound like it might work for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment section! </p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
