Life is a Theater

Life is a Theater - Invite Your Audience Carefully

Author Unknown

"Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front-row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance.

It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not going anywhere relationships and friendships. 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 a path of growth and which ones are going downhill? When you leave the company of certain people, do you feel better or worse? Which ones always have drama, or don’t really understand, know, or appreciate you? Which ones always condemn, criticize, grudge or put you down even in little ways?

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

Remember the people we hang with will have an impact on the quality of our lives and our own moral, spiritual, and emotional well-being. And so, we must be careful to choose the people we hang out with, as well as the information about ourselves that we choose to share with them. We should not share our dreams with negative people, nor feed them with personal information, which they can turn into something negative."

to still be standing

"maybe we're not supposed to be happy. maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. appreciating small victories. admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. and maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. at the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate." -grey's anatomy
