Don’t “Stay the same”.

It’s a cliché these days, people tell their friends to stay the same, to make them feel good about what they are. But the reality is much different and for one to be good, one has to keep changing for the better.

A better thing to say is “Stay good”, to stay good for the changing times one will need to change according to the changing conditions. The world is dynamic and if one “stays the same” then s/he will become irrelevant after a while.

Every now and then someone pops up and tells me to stay the same forever. No man, that’s not the advice you give to people. Not even to make them feel good.

Instead, tell people that they’re doing good but will need to keep changing for the better.

I only consider my true friends for the people who aren’t scared to tell me on my face where I’m going wrong, what needs to change.

You have the world to seek validation from. But your friends, the people around you, should keep pushing you to become better version of yourself.

Assess the people around you, do they really help you grow or are they just saying things to make you feel good.

Differentiate the 2 wisely, then keep the true ones close to you always.

Don’t stay the same.

The world is changing and so should you.

But remember, change only for the better.
