Ep. 130: Red Flags to Watch Out in Friendships

Ep. 130

The tricky thing about friends is that we often just feel so much affection and love for them that we can sometimes be blind to their more harmful and negative behaviors. Making friends is hard but cutting them off is even harder, everyone can be toxic, even I can be toxic, probably I have been also toxic to some of the people I used to be friends with. The thing is no one is perfect, and there are chances that sometimes we just get to the routines with someone but that does not mean we don’t have the option to move on and grow for ourselves and let these people who does not match our beliefs and values. Keep progressing, knowing yourself and people around you.

  • 220. Forgiving is not Reconciling

    07:57
    Forgiving is not reconciling. While forgiveness is an essential virtue, it does not necessarily lead to reconciliation. Forgiveness involves letting go of resentment and anger towards someone who has wronged us, freeing ourselves from negativity. However, reconciliation requires both parties to actively work towards rebuilding trust and repairing the damaged relationship. It involves open communication, understanding, and a willingness to address the underlying issues that caused the rift in the first place. Forgiving may be a step towards reconciliation, but it is not the ultimate solution; true reconciliation requires effort from all parties involved.

    08:29
    Being angry is a natural human emotion that everyone experiences at some point in their lives. However, society often demonizes anger, labeling it as negative and destructive. This perception needs to change. Anger can be a powerful motivator for change and help individuals set boundaries and stand up for themselves. It is important to recognize that anger, when expressed constructively, can lead to positive outcomes. Instead of suppressing or avoiding anger, we should embrace it as a normal part of the human experience and learn how to channel it effectively for personal growth and societal progress.Follow me on IG: Instagram (@angelydub) Follow Life in Progress on IG: Instagram (@lifeinprogressph) Follow me on Tiktok: Angely Dub's Creator Profile
  • 218. Life is simple: Yes, No or Not Now

    10:52
    Life is simple, or so it seems. We are faced with countless choices every day - yes, no, or not now. These three words hold immense power over our lives. Saying yes opens doors to new opportunities and experiences. Saying no protects our boundaries and preserves our sanity. And saying not now allows us to delay decisions until we are ready. However, simplicity can be deceiving. Behind each choice lies a web of consequences and complexities that shape our future. So while life may appear simple on the surface, it is the careful consideration of these three words that truly defines the path we take.
