I said in an earlier post that you should always strive to move forward in life, but when we think of leaving someone or something behind we change our mind. Did you know that many times we stay in places that we should have left a long time ago?
When I was younger I used to go hang out with my friends as all teenagers do. I knew eventually that I would not be hanging around them, but for the time being I thought I was having a good time. The older I got the more I understood that I wasn't going anywhere in life staying with that same crowd of friends. It was time to make a decision on whether to stay or go.
As you might have guessed I decided to go and even though I felt like I lost the best friends I ever had, I have to say that I found out most of them were not really friends at all. When you make a change in your life and start pushing to become better your real friends will understand. The ones that get mad that you want more in life were not worth ever being called friends in the first place.
Your real friends will understand and tell you that they support you on your decision whether they are a part of your life after the change or not. Over the years I have lost contact with friends and I was mature enough to know that they did what was best for them, even though they left me behind. When the time comes you will have to make a choice, and as hard as the choice is make sure that it is what is best for you.
When you feel it is time to move away from a group of friends and make something more of you life, don't wait another moment and start working toward what is best for you and your future family. I have no regrets for leaving my friends behind to pursue greater things, and neither should you. Remember who you are and where you come from and if you have real friends they will want you to move on with what is best for you and respect and support your decision.
