Rob Dial argues that losing toxic people isn't a loss. When someone drains your mental capacity by putting you down or disrupting your peace, their absence frees you to invest in healthier relationships. Stop re-reading the same painful chapter and make space for people who deserve to be there.
Chapters
Not everyone that you lose in your life is a loss. Sometimes people leaving is actually a blessing in disguise and sometimes you're actually trying to breathe life into something that's already died. If somebody was in your life, whether that's a friendship, a relationship or even a significant other, even a family member, that was toxic, which means that they talked down to you, they made you feel worse about yourself, or they made your life less peaceful, then maybe you actually haven't lost anything at all. Maybe you've actually gained from not having them there. Because here's the deal, you only have so much mental capacity throughout the entire day and if you're focusing on those people and they're pulling your mental capacity, then maybe not having them in your life is actually a good thing. It's time for you to stop reading the same chapter over and over again and it's time for you to turn the page and make space for the people who deserve to be in your life.
