When it comes to growing your circle of friends and elevating your life, there is “one thing” that will really keep you small…
Loyalty.
Say what?
Yeah, I know you think that loyalty is a good thing, but is it always?
Loyalty is often a mask used to cover fear.
We stay in environments that are average for us, because we are afraid to change. We deceive ourselves and call it loyalty.
We stay in relationships and friendships where people are not encouraging us to dream and go big, because we are afraid of hurting their feelings or worse, losing them.
We consider love and loyalty to be the same thing.
And yet when you are loyal to unhealthy things, you are hating your own life.
Oh how this shit binds you up and steals your time.
Instead…
Be loyal to no single person or entity.
Such loyalty is a chain that will steal your freedom and keep you sad on Friday nights.
Be loyal to your own life.
Subjugate yourself to your own story.
Refuse to own another human or to be owned by another.
Simply say:
I am walking this way, for this is my destiny.
If you want to move in the same direction, then we can take care of each other.
Live with open hands. Love people deeply.
But always and forever be the Captain of your own ship.
