Your energy defines your reality. When I didn’t know who I was or what I was worth, I attracted people who were just as lost and unsure of themselves. It’s a simple truth: the energy you have within you draws in people, situations, and outcomes that match it.

When you lack clarity, you settle for relationships and environments that reflect your confusion. But once you discover your worth and recognize who you truly are, everything changes. You start to guard your time and energy like it’s sacred. You become selective about the people you allow into your life, the activities you engage in, and the thoughts you entertain.

Awareness is key. When I started paying attention to the people around me, I noticed patterns. How they spent their mornings, evenings, and free time said everything about their priorities and potential. Their habits, values, and choices revealed whether they were on a path toward success or stuck in mediocrity.

The golden question is this: Do you want to be part of their story? If the answer is no, don’t force yourself into relationships or environments that don’t align with who you are or who you’re becoming.

You’re better off sitting alone in self-awareness, waiting for the right people and opportunities to come into your life, than wasting your time in places and with people who don’t match your energy or your vision. Your energy is your compass—when it’s rooted in self-worth, it will guide you to the life you truly deserve.
