I was reading a blog this evening about toxic friendships and it triggered some thinking in me on a much deeper level. I wondered why toxic people enter our lives in the first place - whether friends or not. Why do we make room for them? How many of us are living and putting up with a toxic relationship of any kind in our lives, whether it is a significant other, a family member, or even a career that is toxic? Why do we settle (or why are we willing to put up with) less than what we deserve? Perhaps instead of being a poisonous substance, these toxic relationships are a revealing ‘call to action’ for us to wake up and check-in with ourselves. I mean go inside and check out who we are, what we want, where we are going and what we want to contribute to on a regular basis. Maybe these relationships are about staying on track with who we are and what gives us meaning in a way that brings us to the table and allows us to begin giving back in a more significant way.

What do you think?
