Quotage- It's ok to be choosy

I firmly believe that community {accountability and interactions with other humans} is essential to a healthy life. I have so much room to grow in this area, and have made many mistakes....but i firmly believe that choosing your community is not to be taken lightly.I encourage you to not only choose people who inspire you, but also people who challenge you to be better, people who aren't afraid to call you out when you are wrong, people who give of themselves both in time and money, people who listen to you, people who value who you are, people who encourage and motivate you to do the hard things, people who don't always tell you what you want to hear, people who will fight for truth.This is hard.....and some feelings may be hurt along the way.....but that is just part of being truly vulnerable and real.The consequences for not choosing your community wisely will lead to a shallow emptiness full of flowery words and false assumptions.xo,Barb
