People these days are a lot better at showing you how they feel instead of talking about it. Words are hard to find sometimes.

While the words may be hard, it is always nice to hear kind words. But these kind words are even better when backed by the actions. If not shown, the words eventually lose their meaning. This can easily stress someone out. Keeping people around you that make you feel this way can make you feel drained.

It is important to surround yourself with individuals that have the same outlooks and values that you do. They should reflect who you are, and who you wish to be, as a person. It is also important that they have the same attitude.

Attitudes are contagious, and having the right friends in your life can, believe it or not, make a difference in how you carry yourself.

Don't ever think that you have to surround yourself with people who manipulate you with words and take advantage of your love and willingness to give. Pay attention to the way you feel when you are with people.

Look out for how they treat you. Listen for it as well. The truth will be shown through their actions. They can only keep up the facade of saying and doing the "right" things before the real person comes out.

If you get the wrong vibe from someone, don't be ashamed to walk away. You have to do what is best for you, and only you. There is nothing wrong with doing away with the people that hurt you.

When you walk away from these people, it is important to turn to those who value you. Be with the people who demonstrate what you want to be and those who respect you in all that you do.

Never settle. Surround yourself with who you want in your life. Be around people who help you be your best you.

Actions speak louder than words.
