Sometimes your relationships and friendships are so toxic you have to cut people OFF. For your own health and safety.

Most of the time you just need to reorganize your relationships.

Prioritize and invest time into those strong relationships that are two-way. You get so much out of these relationships and you’re able to pour so much in. You get off the phone or leave their presence feeling like you can face anything! These are precious powerful relationships.

Spend little to no time on the relationships that drain you. The ones when you get off the phone and leave their presence feeling like you need counselling yourself! They’re heavy! For every drop of encouragement you offer, they have an argument.

Relationships are also seasonal. They can start strong. The season ends, but if you’re still trying to hold on to what was, it can turn stale.

Some people aren’t ready for help and just don’t want to be helped. Be careful, are you trying to be their saviour at the detriment of yourself? A great book on this is “Boundaries” by Henry Cloud.

You have an inner-court of friendships and relationships; this should be a small number of people and an outer-court of friendships and relationships. Do you have too many people in your inner-court? Does life feel busy and noisy because you’re carrying too many people?

Reorganize and reprioritize your relationships; in your mind, in prayer and in your journal. It will make a massive difference to your life and the speed at which you reach your goals!
