Life Talk: Auditing People Out Of Your Life Is A Must Do For Inner Peace

We'll never experience true peace if we don't audit people out of our lives. Some have earned their stay. But, some have earned their exit.

As we go through life we slowly realize who has consistently been loyal to you, to your happiness, and celebrates you and all your accomplishments with pride and joy. These are the people that are there with you in the good, the bad, in person, at a distance, with nothing but warm love and appreciation for you, year in, year out.

Then there are those in our lives that are there for you when it’s convenient for them. Or they are there sporadically for you because there is an obligation, as opposed to a will (such as family ties). These are people that will forget your birthdays, never call you just to say hello and see how you are doing, or never extend a helping hand or ear when you need it most. These are the people that will cost you your inner peace and happiness.

It’s Time To Audit

With the recent passing of my dear aunt, I have found myself thinking about her and all the memories we created together. As these memories are playing in my head I have a continuous smile on my face. While I miss her so much, it brings me so much peace and joy to see how much love my aunt showered me with all her life. It was consistent, so real, and pure. There was never a time she wasn’t there for me.

I then think about my memories with people in my life who are still Earth side, and there is no smile on my face while I think of them. My memories with them are disappointments, insincere, forced, and overall lacking in love. These people are in my life, but have never done anything for my benefit, my growth, my happiness. They have never been my support through the journey. They are just energy vampires - they take, but never give. Time to audit…

The Process

Evaluate family members, friends, and acquaintances.

• Are they always present in your life?

• Is it easy to be with them, or does it feel like a hassle or an obligation?

• Can you be yourself around them?

• Have you had various meaningful deep conversations with them?

• Does it feel like time hasn't passed each time you see them?

• Do they genuinely ask how you are doing, the latest in your life, and offer their advice if asked?

• Are they mindful of your privacy?

• Does it instantly bring a smile to yourself when you think of them, and your memories together?

• Do they call/text regularly to check in, say hi, etc.

• Have they always brought moments of joy and laughter into your life?

If you answered YES to most of them, keep them in your life. They are an integral part of your peace and happiness. They are sincere and loyal to you, and will continuously bring abundance into your life. They are most definitely a perfect compliment to your growth as a person.

If you answered NO to most of them, they need to go. They are disingenuous, and are wasting your time and energy. Yes, even if they are family members, you should cut them out. They have not, and will not be there when you need them. They don’t genuinely care for you and your journey. Worst of all, they will prevent your growth if you keep them around. Audit them OUT, and you’ll feel great relief and immense peace in your life.

Smooth Sailing Time

There is no reason to feel bad when auditing people OUT of your life. Instead, you should feel proud —- you just made moves to honor your peace and personal growth. Sometimes we spend too much time catering to others, and while we unconsciously abandon our well-being, our prosperity, our achievements. And the deeper we get into this abandonment, the less peace we experience in our life.

There is no reason to keep anyone who doesn’t build you up, in your life. That’s the whole point of having people in our lives —— for guidance, support, love, care, help, joy. We let people in who cheer us on, and light us up. Therefore, don’t make the mistake of keep those in your life, who continuously dim your light.

Happy Auditing!
