I hope so.
In reality, we should all fear death, but not in the way that you may think.
What I’m referring to is dying before we’re dead.
Sadly, many people die thousands of little deaths before they finally make it official.
Without any doubt, experiencing those tiny deaths on a daily basis is not only extremely painful, but those tiny deaths also make it so much harder for us to live our best lives before we reach the grave for good.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, those tiny deaths could also cause us to reach the grave much sooner than necessary too.
This path doesn’t have to be for us.
If you’ve ever experienced that sickening feeling when a tiny piece of you dies by not fully honoring yourself, this post is for you.
Below are 7 ways that many people experience death before reaching the grave.
If you’re experiencing any of these, commit to making today the day where you fully reclaim your life. The man/woman staring back at you in your bathroom mirror will thank you immensely for it.
1. Keeping Toxic People in Your Life
The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them.” -Maya Angelou
This silent killer is listed first because it can wreak havoc in so many areas of our lives if we don’t handle it quickly and with ruthless precision. This might sound harsh, but toxic people are like a disease.
Seriously, there’s no need to sugarcoat this for a minute longer. If there has ever been a topic in this world’s history that needs realness, it’s this one.
Speaking of keeping it real–no sane person would ever allow cancer, or any other toxic illness, to roam through their bodies untreated, right?
We must view toxic people in the exact same way.
Just like cancer, the best solution and hope for recovery with toxic people is complete removal.
If you have determined that a person in your life is toxic and deeply harming your life, we have to accept that it doesn’t matter who it is—your mom, your spouse, your boss, your childhood friend, or anyone else—they need to be removed from your life without apologies or hesitation.
Failure to do so could cause you to slowly die inside long before it’s your time.
Simply put, some people need to be loved from a distance.
