Real situations expose fake people, so sometimes it takes getting down
on life to find who's really down. You see, people pretend well when their souls are for sale, and sometimes it's the ones you love that mostly want to see you fail.
That’s real.
Just because they ride with you doesn't mean they're riding for you.
That's facts. You see, loyalty shouldn't depend on your presence; it's more about how
they act behind your back.Who can you trust? I mean, some of us are fighting for people who wouldn't throw a punch
for us. And yet, these are the ones we call friends. You know the ones that
care so much about your struggle, but yet so silent when you win. The ones that
bring gossip to you, about you, but your name they never defend.
Understand everybody in your boat might not be rowing but drilling
holes. And as time goes and that jealousy grows, pay attention: because that's
when true rodents get exposed. Everybody in your circle might not be at your corner; support doesn't
always come from familiar faces, so don't be surprised if God places strangers
in your life to take you to higher places. Don't be surprised if your growth makes your circle smaller, but you got
two choices: let it break you or let it make you.
Make your dream even larger, make your vision see further. There's more
to your path that where you're currently at, and I think life will teach you
this: sometimes the best way to add to your life is not to add to it but to
subtract. Understand it's not about the size of your circle, it's about the
loyalty that's in it. You see, nothing can stop a squire that's dedicated to fighting for the
same mission, focused on the same vision.
Has your circle got that type of
commitment? Are they happy for you when you're winning? Or is it the more you do better, the more their love gets distant? The
more their support goes missing? Listen: real friends don't hate on each other.
What they do is push each other to go get it. In your life, do you got those type of friendships? Because mindsets are
very contagious. And I promise you this: whoever you consistently surround your
life around was surely persuaded.
Wake up! Everybody's "prayers" for you ain't to make it, so do
they really got love for you? Or do they just fake it? Do they really got love for you? Or do they just love to use you? To some you're just an opportunity. That's how these fake friends will
do you: they present what you want just to take what they need. And when they
can no longer benefit from your life, well...that's when their loyalty leaves.
So I'm going to ask you this question again: if all you had to offer was
friendship, who would you still be able to call your friend?
