Beyond Fair-Weather Companionship: Valuing Steadfast Bonds

Ever find yourself bending over backward, trying to meet someone else's sky-high expectations, only to realize it's like chasing the horizon? That's the candid conversation we're having today. I'm Mike from Dayton, and I'm here to share the reality that sometimes, no matter how hard you hustle, your best doesn't cut it for some folks. But here's the twist – that realization is not a defeat; it's the starting block for setting boundaries and redefining relationships that truly value you.

This heart-to-heart isn't just about recognizing fair-weather friends; it's an invitation to join me in the land of Mike-Believe, where dreaming big is second nature and living passionately is non-negotiable. We'll reflect on the moments that define true friendship – when life throws a curveball, and you're not quite your shiny best. So, if you're ready for a dose of real talk with positivity and a side of life lessons, tune in, and let's celebrate the people who stick around for the whole rollercoaster ride, not just the scenic view from the top.

Hello, it's me, the M, the I, the K to the E, hailing from the D, the Y to the T that's the abbreviation for the city called Dayton and I'm sending you good sensations and vibrations. And remember, I'm just saying I want to talk to you from the subject of at your best, at your best, there are some people out there who are trying to please other people, are trying to please other people, and what's happening is they're doing their best. The people are complaining about things that they are not doing, so the people are making modifications and adjustments and doing what they need to do in order to please these people. You don't take me anywhere, so they take the person somewhere. You never do this, so they do whatever. That thing is Okay, you did it, but still you need to do this, that or the other, to do this, that or the other. But the problem is is that, even at your best, they're still are not satisfied. So if they're not satisfied with you, at your best, doing your best, then what do you think will happen at your worst?

Speaker 1: 1:42

Think about that and I want you to think about as a measuring tool. Look at what happens when your vehicle breaks down, when you have no money when you are at your worst and at your worst will determine the friends that are your best, because there are times when you are looking your best, feeling your best and operating on all cylinders, but still there's someone who may be saying it's not enough, it's not enough. So if that's not enough, then what you need to do is do something that's good enough for you, which is cut ties with that person, because at your best, at your best, you are operating at the optimal level that you can do. And if the best is not enough, then the worst is definitely not enough. It's a flat out drought. It's a flat out drought. It's a flat out desperation. It's a deficit rather than a surplus or enough to meet the needs.

Speaker 1: 3:23

Again, if you're at your best and your best is not enough, then you need to get rid of that person that's saying that, or consider redefining some things or setting some boundaries. But at your best and it's funny because that song says, at your best you are loved, and the authentic people will love you not only at your best, but they will love you at your worst. You have once again come into the land of mike believe, a place that makes emerald city look like a pile of green rocks wonderland, wonder why I was created in the first place and never, neverland. Wish that it was never created in the first place and I encourage you to dream like you'll live forever, but please live like you'll die today. No-transcript.
