While there are friends that can pull you down, there
are others that can raise you up. These are 4 types of
friends you should avoid in the university;
1. The Doubter
The doubting friend always wants proof that your
dream is possible. They will believe in you as long as
they see it. This friend will buy in late in the game but
in the early stages of chasing your dreams they will
fuel your doubt. When you hang out with this friend
you spend most of your time trying to convince them
of the vision that you can see. This friend will describe
themselves as a realist but you don’t have time
to entertain this doubter.
2. The helper
This friend’s heart is right
but there help is not
helpful. They criticize
everything, finding fault in
the smallest detail . They
are general with praise but
specific and cutting with
where they think you could
have done better. In all
actuality, this helper is
trying to get your dream to
be what they think it
should be. This friend
will always make you feel
like your best is not good
enough and increase your doubt. You don’t have time
to defend against the helper.
3. The Fun Friend
This friend is always looking for a good time. The fun
friend is a blast to be around but can get you into
trouble if you aren’t careful. Life is a party to this
friend and they don’t take anything seriously . This
friend may be someone you cut out completely but
more than likely they are just someone you need to
limit your time with . If you hang around fun friend too
much you will have no time to work towards your
dream. “The best way to move forward, is to let go of
the people holding you back.”
4. The Me Friend
This friend is so focused on themselves that the
relationship is one sided. This friend has no give and
take and you feel used after spending time with them.
You may be an enamored attribute they have, that
causes you to stay around but it’s just not worth it. In
fact this friend is not a friend and should be cut out
immediately. You don’t have any room to have a one
sided relationship ever, but especially if you are
chasing a dream. Some friends you will need to cut out
completely, others you will just need to spend less
time with. You must make room for
better relationships . As your inner circle changes you
will be amazed at how your dreams become easier
and more joyful. This journey is too hard to have
negative forces within your control pulling at you.
There should be no guilt for cutting off relationships.
Some friendships are meant for a lifetime but many
are for a season of life. Set clear boundaries and stick
to them and watch your dreams take off.
