Brianna Wiest Wisdom
❤ Brianna Wiest’s words (often
mistakenly attributed to Anthony Hopkins) are brutal, but still a truth:
This is the hardest thing you will ever have to do in your
life and it will also be the most important thing.
Stop having difficult conversations with people who don’t
want to change.
Stop showing up for people that aren’t interested in your
presence.
I know your instinct is to do everything you can to gain
appreciation from those around you, but it's an impulse that steals your time,
energy and your mental and physical health.
When you start fighting for a life of joy, interest and
commitment, not everyone will be ready to follow you there.
It doesn't mean you have to change who you are, it means you
have to let go of people who aren't ready to be with you.
If you are excluded, insulted, forgotten or ignored by the
people you give your time to, you are not doing yourself a favour by continuing
to offer them your energy and your life.
The truth is, you are not for everyone and everyone is not
for you.
This is what makes it so special when you find people you
have friendship or love that matched.
You will know how valuable it is because you have
experienced what it isn't.
There are billions of people on this planet, and many of
them are found at your level of interest and commitment.
If you stop showing up, they might not look for you.
If you stop trying, the relationship can end.
If you stop texting, your phone can stay dark for weeks.
It doesn't mean you broke the relationship, it means the
only thing that kept it was the energy you gave to keep it.
It's not love, it's imagination.
It's giving a chance to those who don't deserve it!
You deserve so much more.
The most valuable thing you have in your life is your time
and energy since both are limited.
The people and things you put your time and energy into will
define your existence.
When you realize this, you begin to understand why you are
so worried when you hang out with people, activities or spaces that don’t suit
you and shouldn’t be near you.
You will begin to realize that the most important thing you
can do for yourself and everyone around you, is to protect your energy harder
than anything else.
Make your life a safe haven, where only people who are
"compatible" with you are allowed.
You are not responsible for saving anyone.
It’s not your responsibility to convince them to improve.
It’s not your job to exist for people and give them your
life!
You deserve true friendship, true commitments and complete
love with healthy, wealthy people.
Deciding to distance yourself from harmful people will give you the love, respect, happiness and protection you deserve.
