Awhile ago, I heard or read somewhere that “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with” and I started to evaluate who I spend the most time with and what impact or influence they have on me and I became more conscious of who I give my time to.

I aim to be successful in all aspects of my life, especially in my career therefore I spend time with people who are successful in their career, I want to learn from their mistakes and their victories because there are lessons in both.

I yearn to have my marriage outlast my heartbeat, therefore I spend time with people who have tenured marriages, who can share how they made it and keep me encouraged.

I wish to establish generational wealth so that my great, great grandchildren can benefit from the labor my husband and I put forth in our lifetime, therefor I seek knowledge from those that are investing, saving and not just for their future but for generations to come.

I want to leave others inspired and hopeful of God’s promises that are still to come so I surround myself with Faith-filled men & women who excite my spirit and leave me inspired.

I challenge you to think about who you’re attracting and how they fit into where you want to go in life.
If you’re constantly in the same drama filled happenings with your current circle and you’re trying to live drama free, it’s probably time to re-evaluate how much time you give that person or people.

I decided a couple years ago that anyone who disturbs the peace that I wish to embrace in the spaces I reside in is someone who will have very limited access to my time, if any access at all.
And that declaration of peace is all-inclusive, no-one is off limits from being restricted of my time.
I have restricted immediate family members as they violated my personal peace policy and I’m not sorry! ( I said that last part in my Beyonce’ voice )

Don’t ever apologize for wanting, doing and being a better version of yourself. There is nothing to apologize for. If someone is hating on you for being better than you were in the past, you have to question what their intentions are and start to limit their access to you.

Keep your circle full of passionate, forward thinking, and liberating people!
