Higher Standard for Our Inner Circle

Surround yourself with people who lift you up. Part of self-love is having a higher standard for your inner circle

Having a higher standard for your inner circle. Have you ever thought what this sentence is trying to convey?

There are many ways to gain friends. School, work, course, organization, club, neighborhood or many other circumstances that makes us meet a new people. Naturally we will be grouped with someone who has same interest or sometimes similar characteristic with us. Then, do they instantly paved a way to your inner circle list? Perhaps yes. Why not?

Grew closer, understand each other characters more and start to caring and cherishing all the time that passed while together. Nothing wrong with that.

But.

I do see a little problem.

People starting to be trapped into a 'friendship' zone where we we think we have responsibility to put them in our inner circle. We are the one who has the control to decide our own inner circle! We don't have to share it it on Facebook or Path. Yes they have that inner circle thing, but well??  We can put our gang, squad or whatever it called 🙄

But inner circle is more than that.

For me inner circle is like a support system. People who listened you, understand you andddd the most important is someone who has their own stances but can see you from your perspective.

Inner circle always brings a positive energy towards your life. When you with them, you feel better and stronger. The one whom 'one call away', who you will find when you need advice. They can gives you feedback when needed but also warning you in case you made a bad decision.

Length of friendship couldn't determined this connection. It is a bond that made in heaven. So don't waste your precious time and energy too much for someone who only gives you negativity.

But do not ever translate limited inner circle into having a little friends! This is a big NO.

Never limit yourself in meeting new people. Good or bad, new person in your life will gives you new perspective about this life. It gives you an excitement that you could never found in yourself. Who knows they could lead to something or someone (uhuk) important in the future 😝. 

Always be smart in creating your network! Surround yourself more with positive people and limit your boundaries with negative people.

Good luck to us💕
