Life has a way of removing people you don't need on your journey and replacing them with the ones you need as you grow.
Losing friends is a part of growth and people need to know this. Even if you were unaware, from today closely monitor a plant. At every point of growth, some leaves fall off making way for new ones.
This doesn't make the plant ugly but more beautiful. In my own story some people liked me when I was Edem Adofoli but I lost them when I become Web Linux. This made room for a new set of friends. I again lost quite a good number of friends when I became Mr. Frank Edem Adofoli but I lost more when I become Counselor Frank Edem Adofoli; however I gained a number of good ones too.
In all these life games of losing and gaining people, only one person remains with me on the journey which is MYSELF, apart from God.
Telling me not to depend on any human being but myself, not to love anyone more than I love myself and not to care for anyone more than I care for myself; for if I don’t and they eventually leave, I will suffer an incurable pain.
You have what it takes to love others or make others love you but please love yourself first. Make sure you are full and by so doing, no one can make you feel empty.
People's needs differ from yours. You can meet your needs better than someone else will do and vice versa.
At a point in time everyone leaves you including your shadow, so why are you hard on yourself. If you love yourself that much, you will never kill yourself because someone you love left your life.
Believe in yourself and don't care about what people think or say about you, not even your haters; then you will be unstoppable in life.
I have realized that people don't care as much about you as you think; they may miss you, ask about you and check on you when you are doing good or looking good, but not when things are bad for you. The truth is, the bad times is when you need them the most, but sadly this is when they leave. Therefore why don't you love and stick by the one who never leaves which is yourself?
Start each day by speaking something positive into your life. Positive words give you a positive attitude, which in turn gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstance overpowering you.
When you accept yourself, it doesn't matters who rejects you; when you love yourself, it doesn't matter who makes you feel unloved; it doesn't even matter if they choose someone over you, for you have yourself. This makes life simple, happy and healthy. You don't have to explain yourself to people when things go wrong.
In conclusion "To acquire wisdom is to love yourself; people who cherish understanding will prosper" - Proverbs 19:8 (NLT).
