The Kind of People You Should Keep Off

Let's get real for a second.


We've all got people in our lives who can be, well, draining. And I'm not just talking about the occasional bad day or misunderstanding. I'm talking about the folks who consistently bring us down, make us feel bad about ourselves, and hinder our growth.


You know who I'm talking about - the lovers of self, who only care about themselves, their needs, and their feelings. Newsflash: we all need a little self-love, but not at the expense of others! Then there are the lovers of money, who prioritize wealth and material possessions above all else. Remember, money can't buy happiness or true friendship!


And don't even get me started on the boastful and proud, who constantly brag and look down on others. Humility is key, folks! We also need to be cautious of those who are abusive and toxic, who hurt us physically, emotionally, or verbally. No one deserves to be treated this way - ever! And let's not forget those who are disobedient to their parents, spiritual and biological, who refuse to listen, learn from, and respect their elders.


But that's not all - we also need to watch out for the ungrateful, who never say thank you, never appreciate the little things, and always expect more. Gratitude is a game-changer! And finally, there are the selfish, who only think of themselves, their needs, and their desires. We all need a little self-care, but not at the expense of others!


Here's the thing: we can't pour from an empty cup. We need to surround ourselves with people who uplift, support, and inspire us to be our best selves. So, take a close look at your inner circle.


Are there any toxic relationships that need a little pruning? Let's focus on nurturing the good stuff and cutting off the bad.

Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
