RULE #3

CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS VERY CAREFULLY

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
If you feel that you have to put on a mask so that you won’t be rejected,
then you are not surrounded by real friends. Friends will always help
you to make the healthy decision in any situations. Friends care about
your best interest and not theirs — even if they will lose out. A friend is
happy to see you succeed and accomplish great things. Jealousy should
not exist in true friendships.
Having bullies or friends that criticize you, make you feel small, and
call you all kind of names is not only a bad choice, it is extremely fruitless. Remember, your time is valuable. You don’t have time to be in a
friendship with someone who is not helping you reach your full potential. Instead, those type of people only drain your energy and cause you
to hide behind masks. Those are toxic relationships. Eliminate them
from your life.
Evaluate whom you give the title of friend to? Do they deserve the
title?
Cut off the toxic friends if you don't you will find yourself in toxic
situations.
