Morning Inspirations - Cut out people with no value!!
Good morning and welcome to Coolen’s Morning Inspirations. In today’s episode, we dive into a powerful but necessary truth: it’s okay to cut people out of your life who bring no value. This isn’t about bitterness or ego—it’s about growth, balance, and real support. We talk about the difference between real ones and yes-men, inspiration versus empty words, and why iron truly sharpens iron. If the people around you aren’t helping you grow, checking you when you’re wrong, or standing with you in the trenches, it may be time to reevaluate your circle. You’re worth real love, real loyalty, and real support. Start your day reminded that you deserve people who walk with you, not against you. Be blessed and let’s get to it.
Good morning. And welcome to Coolen's Morning Inspirations. Today is February 7th. Aw man. So um today's topic I want to bring up to you guys is it's okay to cut people out of your life that bring you no value. Short and sweet, if they bring you no value, they need to not be in your circle. Iron sharpens iron. And if you have somebody that's gonna just dole you out or keep you, you know, in the same spot with no elevation, because if it's a friend, family member, a loved one, somebody that you're sleeping with, I don't care what it is. If that person is bringing you no value, if it's that person not bringing you putting a smile on your face, the person's not helping with a bill or two, a person's not helping you feel uh inspired through your day, and I'm not talking about that cheap inspiration that people try to say, Oh, I'm I'm inspiring. No, you're not. Um I mean somebody that's gonna go through the trenches with you, if you have a business idea, somebody that's gonna invest in you, if you're going through a bad time, somebody that's gonna drop everything and make sure that you are right. Do you have those people in your life? Or do you have a bunch of yes men in your life? A whole bunch of people that's just gonna disagree with everything that you say to make you feel okay. But in all actuality, you're wrong. I would prefer to have somebody in my life that will tell me what's real. If I got booger in my nose, tell me I got booger in my nose. If my breath stink, please, please, tell me my breath stink. It's cool. If I'm hurting and I'm always helping you out, I'm always sacrificing for you, please sacrifice for me once or twice. Make me feel important. I'm always making you feel important. If you don't have that in your circle, why have a circle? Because it sounds like they're just as much as a regular individual or enemy as anybody else. If every five seconds I gotta deal with you and deal with your crap, but then when I turn around and need you, you have every excuse in the world, you're not worth holding on to. You just got things going on. You got this. Well, let me know. But have it with no malice. Please let me know something ain't right with me because you're the closest thing that I got. If you're my friend, if you're my loved one, if you're my family, you you're the ones that see me on an everyday basis. If they can't bring you no value, you're in this world by yourself anyway, then. Pardon the interruption, somebody's on my ring camera. But I want somebody that's gonna Like go through the fire with me. I need a loved one or a best friend or somebody that that's like, look, boy, if you put up the if you put up the house, I'm putting up the car. If that man wanna go at you, I'm lacing my boots too. If you gotta go through 30 nights of trying to have understanding and all this other stuff, then I'ma sit there with you and go through it with you. And people be like, Well, you got God. True. You do, you got God, but where's my disciples? Where are my people that's gonna walk this earth with me, hand in hand, and take on this world? The world throws so much at you. It sucks when you gotta do it by yourself, and it sucks when the people that's next to you are throwing little small pebbles that you don't even see. You like, how am I getting hit from the back? Because you got your homeboys doing the same thing, and it might not be as big as everybody else, but it's consistently hitting you. You know what I mean? You know what I'm talking about. Somebody always talking crap down on you, you know, always trying to make you feel like you're lower than them. Somebody always knocking your ideas down, somebody always knocking your dreams down, you know. Those ones, the ones that don't want to call you unless they got something great going on that they want to bride you about. Yeah, you don't want those in your life. You want people that will be creative, inspirational, life-giving, rectifying, and all those other crazy words that I could probably just pop up in my head and just say just for the random of it, but you get what I'm saying. I'ma spend this last little minute that I got for my morning inspirations just telling you guys like you're worth it, you're special, and have those that like you in your corner. If you're sweet, find people that are sweet with you. Sometimes it's kinda good to have a sour patch with you. Sweetness sour tastes great. But if the sour overpowers the sweetness, I be that time to cut that out, you know what I mean? But I hope everybody have a great day today. It's early in the morning, and we're about to get to it. If you have somebody that you're close to, give them a hug today, tell them that you love them. Show them that they were on your mind today. Show them that you're in their circle and you're on their side, and no matter what, y'all gonna be down the ride. Be blessed.
