best quote I’ve seen in a while
I got this from a friend’s LJ. I will not say who, it is not important, but someone i respect and who thinks a lot like me,so probably why I admire the quote. Definitely summarizes in words, what I have thought for years about friendships I have decided to keep , and friendships I left behind because they were holding me back from life.
“I don’t have time to spare for people who don’t live up to their word. I just take out the trash when that happens, and I have no problem trimming the deadwood from my life and never looking back. It’s not hurt, it’s not hate, it’s more of a business decision. Some people are good investments, and you get good returns from being friends with them. Others are bad investments, and they take away from your life and cause stress and worry. The skill is knowing which is which and dealing with them accordingly. My “friend portfolio†is full of good investments, but there’s a couple of bad ones. Those I’ll sell and reinvest that time into new stocks that look promising or add it into the good stocks that I already have. Or I may put it into savings and keep it for myself. The biggest decision maker is looking at stocks long term. If that stock doesn’t perform well over a period of time, dump it. If it only has some bumps but overall does well, keep it.”

Kev was a sweetie to protect me since it was a locked post, but I don’t mind saying it was me.
Wow, good to know I’m on the right path then if there’s something in the Bible like that. 😀 That’s just something I came up with on my own, and finally decided to write it down.
