Recognize your own worth and you won’t be drawn to people who don’t see it.
A really bad trait I realized about myself recently was that I glorified way too many things early in life. I put so many things and so many people and so many “ideas” of things on a pedestal that it led to some pretty unrealistic behaviors. This is not referring to dreams or goals, its more like not seeing things for what they really were. It also led to me not being satisfied in certain scenarios when I should have been a lot more patient. There is a lot to appreciate about almost any spot on the globe, and where you live and work every day is no different. Stare too long at a map and you start to lose site of what you see on your way to work every day. The same can be said about certain people. Don’t idolize people, give to them what they give to you. Walk hand in hand, don’t chase. Some really nice people won’t ever catch your eye if your mind is clouded by some fantasy. The future won’t have all the right doors open if you’re locked into some made up character from your past, praising people that never deserved it from you in the first place. I did this with the wrong people, and now looking back I realize some really nice friends fell through the cracks while I just walked on oblivious. I hope that I put the breaks on this kind of behavior and can see things clearly.
