I wonder what God has in store for me today? Yesterday he showed me that its time to remove all of the people and the things from my life that are holding up progress.
So often we surround ourselves with people that do nothing but add to the number of barriers we place on our own path.
We constantly search for the purpose they have in our lives, keeping a strong grip on someone that needs to be let go.
You are constantly trying your best to move forward, but someone is reaching for you to stay back with them.
The scary part is when you don't realize that the person isn't just trying to pull you back, but is using you to move forward.
Take a moment to evaluate the people you have in your life. Is there a bunch of takers that don't give?
Is there a list of people that can compile an entire list of the things you do for them, but scratch their head wondering what they have done for you?
You need to surround yourself with people that are going to help get you to the point where you can succeed. Even if they simply are the one that makes you smile when you speak to them once a month. Its not about the amount of things these people give, its the positive energy they put in your life when they do.
Negative people equals negative energy. Negative energy equals little progress. Little progress equals a road to no where. Where are you headed?

I certainly agree with you. It sounds like you want to surround yourself with people who can enhance your life and bring quality, which is most important thing in any relationship. All too often we focus on the number of friends, how many people show up at the party, instead of nurturing the people in our lives who bring absolute value. Those who make it better, brighter, and richer.
It's also important for us to remember that everyone who's in our life, we invited or attracted at some point or another. People don't just want in and take a seat; there must be an open door. For that reason, it's imperative that when we begin cleaning house, we also acknowledge our behaviors and actions that attributed to the current state of the relationship. What did I do? How did it get to this point? What made him think he could do or say that? These are often the questions I ask myself in such situation.
Just my two cents. Thanks for the post. I will be checking in again!
@itssonice: You brought up an amazing point, "everyone who's in our life, we invited or attracted at some point or another". I think that is one point that people miss. They wonder why someone is in their life, not realizing that they played a large part in why. It is very important that we take time to evaluate the things that we do that invite certain people into our lives.
