I do this every New Year and around my birthday; cull, assess and set new paths for myself.
They’re not ‘goals’ because let’s face it, as soon as we categorise something as a ‘goal’ it’s one of those things that rarely gets accomplished.
I am extremely fortunate to have many different types of friends from all walks of life, ethnicities and styles.
But when you mix with many different groups of people you’re bound to mingle with people you don’t really get a long with. Often this is a person who is friends with a friend of mine, I although I play nice for the sake of our mutual friend, we can’t be friends with everyone.
I was recently reminded of this; there are just people out there who just don’t bring anything wholesome and positive to my life and I’m sure that even I don’t bring anything good to other peoples’ lives, also.
Over the last couple of months I’ve been on a culling spree of friends, filtering out those with whom I have a good association with the ones I don’t.
It’s nothing personal, it’s just that we don’t “mesh” well together and by no means is there any bad blood between us.
One of my closest friends said to me about a year ago that if something doesn’t immediately affect you, there is no reason to worry yourself over it.
This also applies to people. Why get upset over someone you don’t get along with when you have a hundred other friends already?
Have you had to cull friendships?
