Being brave enough to be alone frees you up to invite people into your life because you want them and not because you need them. ? Mandy Hale

You want the right people in your life for the right reason.  Makes perfect sense, right?  Except sometimes you want the right people and you need them.  There isn’t anything wrong with needing someone, or leaning on someone.  It’s good to have a support system.  But you can’t lean on somebody for everything.  That’s what this quote is saying.  If you are needy and always needing people to make you more than you are, or support you, or prop you up, it’s not good, and it’s not going to last.  And frankly if it does last, they’re probably not the right people because they’re enabling you.

When you can stand on your own two feet, make your own decisions, and more importantly, enjoy your own company, it’s a perfect trifecta.  That’s when you’re in the zone, and then and only then, you’ll start to find the right people to be in your life, and your awesomeness will be like a gold plated invitation. You’ll be rolling out the welcome mat to the people who will enrich your life, just like you’ll enrich theirs.  Sure they may bolster you up now and again, and that’s okay.  Why? Because you’ll do the same for them.  You may need them, but you won’t NEED them.

So figure out who you are and what’s going on in your life.  Get to know he awesome person you are, and revel in your own company.  Don’t go looking for people to fill your space just to have people there.  Be brave, live your life on your terms and and stand on your own two feet and don’t lean on others.  Only then will you be able to fill your life with the right people.
