Consider your Front Row

Life is a theater,

Invite your audience carefully.  Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.  There are some people in your life that need to be escorted out or loved from a distance.  It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go, or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible  not-going-anywhere relationships, friendships, fellowships, and family.

Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention.  Which ones lift and which ones lean?  Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?  Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are just going downhill?  When you leave certain people, do you feel better or feel worse?  Which ones always have drama, or don't really understand, know and appreciate you and the gift that lies within you?

The more you seek God, the more you seek things honorable. the more you seek quality, respect, growth,  piece of mind, love and truth around you, the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should move to the balcony of your life.  You cannot change the people around you, but you can change the people you are around!  Ask God for wisdom and discernment and choose wisely the people who sit in the front row of your life.

Remember that the people we hang with will have an impact on out lives and our income.  And so we must be careful to choose the people we hang out with, as well as the information with which we feed our minds.  We should not share our dreams with negative people, nor allow them to feed us with negative thoughts.  It's your choice and your life and it's up to you who you let in it.  Front Row Seats are for special and deserving people and those who sit on your front row should be chosen carefully.  Everyone can't be there, some deserve to watch from the balcony or be even escorted out of the theater.
