Few days back, one of my clients — let’s call her Niya — reached out to me, heartbroken by the pain of rejection.

She spoke about a friend who, on the surface, seemed incredibly kind and caring. Her words were warm, her gestures thoughtful. Naturally, Niya trusted her. Slowly, she began to rely on her emotionally — confiding in her, depending on her support.

But over time, something shifted.

Her friend’s kindness turned into control. She began subtly manipulating Niya, making her feel guilty, small, and unsure of herself. When Niya needed her the most, this friend would avoid her, ignore her messages, or dismiss her pain. The very person she once trusted was now the source of her deepest hurt.

During the session with Niya, I gently asked :

“What’s the difference between a friend and an enemy?”

She replied:

“A friend supports you. An enemy hurts you.”

Then I asked:

“Where would you place this person — friend or enemy?”

There was a long pause… and a quiet moment of realization.

🤍 Not Everyone You Welcome Is Meant to Stay
Sometimes, we trust too quickly.
We give people a seat in our inner circle because of their words, their smiles, or shared history. But not everyone has the capacity — or the heart — to walk with us in our most vulnerable moments.

This is why ancient wisdom talks about Viveka or discernment is so important. Not judgment — but quiet, loving clarity.

So, take a moment and reflect:

💛 Your Soul-Nourishers — the ones who truly uplift you:
The Uplifters – cheers for your wins, no matter how small
(For me: it’s my family and positive-hearted friends)

The Guides – listens deeply without judgment
(My mentors, coaches, and teachers)

The Truth-Teller with Love – speaks honesty wrapped in compassion
(My spiritual master)

🚩 Not Your People – The ones who drain your light:
The Drainer – leaves you doubting yourself

The Silent Competitor – smiles, but secretly compares

The Hidden Opponent – uses criticism to control

The Quiet Watcher – sees your light, but never supports it

You deserve to be surrounded by true soul allies — those who love you for who you are, walk beside you in growth, and never use your light to cast shadows.

✨ Your peace is sacred. Protect your circle.
