Golden Seeds of Life: Choices and Friends

In a world of nasty and pretentious people, being a nice person isn't a very safe thing. However If you choose to continue to be a "nice" person, at least draw a line at a point. Most people will try to take advantage of you. It is human nature. Pick your friends very carefully and do not be too quick to offer assistance without a clear understanding of the situation and consequences thereafter. Instead of spreading your love thin, focus on those who have demonstrated a true commitment to your happiness and double down on them. Reward their love and support with copious helpings of your own attention and affection. Systematically reduce the time and energy you spend on those who only take from you. Those who don't bother to talk to you or check up on you. Don't believe their excuses. For every time they spend unconcerned about you, they spend with those who actually mean something to them. Don't ask for an explanation. Actions speak louder than words anyway. You cannot do much about what has already happened but you can definitely do a lot about what should happen in the future.
People will always find time for the things and people they want to. It is a matter of choice.
Choices reveal the real truth about people. Make yours count for the sake of your happiness.
