When you stop trying to earn people's approval and just be yourself, the right ones stay and the wrong ones leave. Your value doesn't depend on who sticks around. Genuine relationships don't require effort to maintain.
Chapters
The people that are really meant to be in your life, you don't have to fight for. You don't have to prove your worth to. You don't have to talk them into seeing your worth or value. The people that are meant to be in your life will be people that are a reflection of you being you without being attached to what they do. That's when you're really free. You're good either way. You're good whether they're in your life or not because you understand that your job is to simply be you, to give yourself permission to be vulnerable and authentic, and that will attract to you the people that are really meant to resonate with you at a deep level. And it will also repel away the people that don't resonate with that version of you. So instead of trying to prove yourself, instead of believing that you need to get people on board, realize it's not your job. Your job is to simply be you.
