IT HAS TO BE THEIR CHOICE

One of the hardest things to deal with when you are growing in your personal development journey is when the people around you who you care about doesn't grow with you.

There was hardly ever any conflict or issues between you and the people you were surrounded by when y'all were doing the same bad habits, making the same excuses, avoiding the same work, and avoiding the real truth.

When you first start in your personal development journey most of your circle will cheer you on, act like they are proud of you, and some will even join you. But as time goes on and you keep sticking to the disciplined routines you are creating the cheering becomes less and less, the people that once acted like they were proud of you start avoiding you, and the ones that joined in at first become ghosts.

The hard part to deal with is you want to see all those people do great in their own lives as well, but the more you try to encourage them the more they push away.

Now that you see how important and healthy personal development is for you, you want to help others realize how important it is for them as well. You want them to see how healthy it is for their future, for their kids, and for everyone they surround themselves with.

The biggest lesson I have learned is...
You cannot force someone to change for the better. You cannot change their behavior by loving them harder. You can't force someone to change their lifestyles even if it means they will be happier, healthier, and more fulfilled in their own future.

No matter how much you care for someone else or love that person it has to be their choice to grow with you, to change for their well-being, or to change for y'alls relationship to be healthy. It doesn't matter if it is a friend, significant other, co-worker, or family member.

If someone truly loves you, they'll make the effort to change on their own. Not because you asked for it, but because they know you deserve it, and they need it.

You can't heal someone by breaking yourself...

You can't build a future with someone who's comfortable destroying the present. Real love grows in accountability, not in excuses.

There is none of us who are perfect so there is no need for judgment nor hate. All we can do in this life to make it our best life is to realize that we only get one shot at life, and each day we are only getting older and closer to our time running out.

WHY NOT GIVE IT OUR BEST?

WE ALL DESERVE IT!

"I came across a quote that said: The most valuable math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of your current decisions."

Yes indeed, the most vital lesson we can learn isn't found in textbooks, but in understanding the future cost of our current choices. Every single day, we're investing in our tomorrow—with our time, our energy, our money, and our focus.

The challenge is, we often live only for "now," failing to truly calculate the price. Small, everyday decisions, whether good or bad, quietly build into massive outcomes.

That extra dessert, the delayed task, the impulsive purchase—each seems minor in the moment. Yet, over months and years, these choices compound, shaping our health, our opportunities, and our freedom.

Life constantly presents us with invisible equations: is this short-term gain worth the long-term cost? Truly grasping this requires more than logic; it demands foresight and emotional wisdom—the courage to pause, project, and plan for the peace, growth, and purpose we genuinely desire in the years to come.

Sometimes, what feels like rejection is really God’s protection.

You thought they were for you, but God saw what you couldn’t see. He heard the whispers behind closed doors. He knew the intentions that never showed on the surface.

So, He started removing people, not to hurt you, but to guard your purpose.

Some couldn’t go where you’re going.

Some would have slowed you down, distracted you, or even betrayed you at the wrong time.

God heard what you didn’t, and in His love, He made a move.

Stop chasing what God has cut off.

Stop trying to reopen doors He’s closed.

Trust that if your circle got smaller, it’s because your calling got bigger.

The pruning is preparation.

And what’s ahead requires the right people, not just familiar people.

4 I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. (‭‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

You don’t have to chase every rumor.

You don’t have to fight every whisper.

Let people talk. Let them twist the story. Because when it’s all said and done, character wins.

The truth doesn’t panic.

It doesn’t rush.

It doesn’t need to defend itself at every turn.

Your consistency, your integrity, your actions, they speak louder than any lie ever could.

And while lies may move fast, they don’t last.

Time has a way of exposing everything.

Eventually, the truth steps into the light, and the ones who stood tall through the storm are the ones still standing.

So keep doing right.

Keep walking with purpose.

Keep your spirit clean and your head high.

Let time do what it does.

And let your character do the talking.

There’s only two people that can change someone else’s mind: God and themselves.

Don’t die defending a petty hill, especially the one where you just want to be right.

And listen, I’m one that always thinks I’m right. It’s not pride. It’s more along the lines of, “Why would I be wrong on purpose?” I always think I’m right, but history has proven that I’m not.

That’s why I’m not going to die defending a petty hill.

And the crazy part is, when you stop defending petty hills, you have less conflict and stress in your life.

And couldn’t you use a little bit of that?
