A Letter To The Hearts Of My Generation

A Letter To The Hearts of My Generation Pt.3

"Throughout the years you lose friends, family and lovers. Loss is inevitable. It's a rough reality of life, but it doesn't have to be all bad cause there's a lot to learn from loss. Life's journey is a marathon; everybody that starts with you won't have what it takes to finish with you. One of the toughest things to accept in this life is that people grow apart. Sometimes you have to love somebody enough to let them go. That may be easier said than done, but just because it isn't easy doesn't mean it isn't necessary. If you're trying to go places in life, you can't keep following the people who are content with just going anywhere. You need to be around people who have a sense of purpose and direction. We're all impressionable, so if you want to get ahead, make sure you're starting the process off by putting yourself around the right influences. It's simple math; if people aren't adding value to your life, then they need to be subtracted. If the people around you aren't helping you dream bigger, inspire you to work harder or motivating you to do better, then you're in the wrong circle. When you care about something, you protect and cherish it, your care for it makes it better. Don't avoid having expectations, you should expect the people who claim they care about you to show it, and in more ways than one. If you show me somebody you feel you can't expect anything from, I'll show you somebody you don't need in your life. Be aware of those who claim to care more, when their actions show that they could care less. Some people are around, just to be around. Stop letting people just "chill" in your life and take up space. Make sure their presence has a purpose. Great people can't come into your life if you keep allowing average people to block the door. Sometimes you just need to remove them. If they don't see your vision, they'll compromise your mission. You can't always control who you lose in life, but you can control who you hold onto but just make sure they're worth it. Stop going back and looking for closure in situations that have already closed you out. Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your heart open, and keep God first."
