I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent, but not that smart. Even somewhat foolish at times.
I read the above meme and the sentiments within really resonated with me. I was quite struck by it. Eventually, the penny has dropped.
It's not only that you need to associate with people who add to your growth; I now realise that you have to actively dissociate from those that don't. There is a huge disparity between those two positions.
In the last two weeks, I have adopted that approach with three people that I had come to know, all in different ways. No doubt there will be others. I feel not poorer, but emotionally richer for doing so. To the three, thank you for the life lesson and good luck on your journey.
