I’m sure you’ve heard that your vibe attracts your tribe…Well…
There comes a time when you must evaluate those in your circle or those ‘trying’ to be in your circle. You can discern or know how a person is by the things they say and/or do. You will know them by the fruit they bear (Matthew 7:15-20).
The older you become, the more important this becomes. Now keep in mind that there is varying levels of circles…
Theres an Outer circle: those that you know but at a surface level. The Inner circle: those who know you a little more, that you’re able to share with but only to a certain degree. Then there is your Core circle: Those that you trust with the real you.
With anything, we can always use Jesus as our example…there were the 40 who were on the Outer circle of Jesus, then there were Jesus’s 12 disciples which were his inner circle, then his Core circle consisted of only 3 people: James, Peter and John!
So what should we do?
First pray! Yes, ask God to show you those who should be in your circle and to send you those who should be there…my Bestie and I have been talking about divine connections lately! We really should pray about everything. So here’s…
How To Develop An Awesome Friend Circle
- Surround yourself with like-minded people. If you’re a go-getter, business-minded, creative…surround yourself with those type people. Because you have so much in common, you’ll have loads to talk about when you’re together.
- Surround yourself with positive people “GOOD VIBES ONLY”. Stay clear of people who always see the cup half empty…negative people. Also, beware of a gossip. If they are gossiping to you, they are also gossiping about you. It’s so important to guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. Believe it or not, we become what and who we hang around…very much so, we are influenced by those we are around the most.
- Surround yourself with trust-worthy people. One of the most important things of any relationship is trust so this wouldn’t be any different for friends.
Have you ever evaluated your circle of friends? Have you ever had to get rid of a toxic friendship? I’d love to hear from you!
This is so good. Surrounding yourself with people who lift you up is so important.
Such a really great post! I agree, it’s always the best to surround yourself by people that make you feel good and are like minded! It’s the worst when you surround yourself around someone that just brings you down.
Great post! People always tell me I shouldn’t cut the negative folks off. But why would you want that negative energy all the time.
This sounds like a great idea. I do try to do something like this–I only want positive people around me. Not the negative ones. I just don’t have the patience.
I miss my circle of gal pals when I moved to a different state. Your suggestions are spot on and important.
Friends are important. Have good vibes with them is even better.
Great advice. We need positive, supportive friends in all of our circles.
Over the years I have come to realzie that the friends I choose need to be supportive and like minded. The negative people just bring me down.
Get rid of the people that are just pulling you down and look for friends that will empower you instead. These are great tips. It’s good to surround yourself with people that will support you.
This is good advice. Once we get to a certain age, we definitely realize that there is no point in keeping those toxic friends around!
Great advice! No one needs negativity in their space.
Ohh I couldn’t agree more on this. I have now living a live with positivity and surrounding with nice friends.
Such great advice. The older I get, the more I realize how important it is to surround yourself only with positive, supportive people.
I feel like as an adult it is very challenging to make new friends. I miss the old days when I was a kid and it was easier to make friends. 🙂 I love your points about how to develop a friend circle. As adults, it’s important we surround ourselves with people who are positive and whom we can trust! So true!
It is so hard to make new friends as an adult. I do like your advice even a woman of my age,
Absolutely true and I agree 100% about vibes .The only way I interact with people is if their vibe is okay .Great post
These are all great tips and a much needed read for me. I just had my birthday which always make me re-evaluate the people in my life. Great post, thanks!
“Good vibes only” is so key. Negative people and energy vampires will try to guilt you into keeping them in the circle– stay strong!
I need to make more friends to make a whole circle! lol I’m more of a handful type of person.
