The Kinds Of People You Meet
Someone once told me that there are 4 kinds of people you’ll meet in life, all based on the four basic mathematic symbols: + x - /
Firstly there are people who add something to you (+). These are the people who help to make life’s journey enjoyable. They are the ones that know how to get you to laugh, or think, relax or know how to make sure you have a good time. All in all they are great company to be with and they always find ways to ‘add’ something to the quality and experience of your life.
Then there are the subtracters (-). These are the people who for whatever reason take more from you than they give. It may be because they are going through a difficult patch and need to draw on you for support. Or it may be because they are only concerned with what they can get out of any relationship. Their agenda is to take, take, take!
Then their are those who are ‘dividers’ (/). These are the people who actually mean you harm. They do things to hurt you, somethings intentionally, and often give themselves away by a constant stream of negative talk, gossiping, or behind the scene moves to assassinate your character and sabotage the things you are trying to achieve.
And finally you have the ‘multipliers’ (x). This is an extremely rare group, extremely rare. They are like gold dust! These are the people whose committment to you goes beyond the mistakes in your past, what you presently have or what you are currently experiencing in life. They see something more. They know there is more to you than meets the eye and most importantly they will self-sacrificially do whatever they can to see your potential fulfilled with…and heres the key…no strings attached!
Each group of people are valuable to you but in completely different ways. I’ll go into it a bit more in my next post
Thanks for stopping by,
