Never regret being a good person to the wrong people. It’s part of the job on the way to the top.

Wise words written by a good friend of mine on a Facebook status post. I’ve never forgotten them since I read them.

I always love to hold onto ideas and statements that make so much sense to me and resonate with me, as this one did.

And now, I like to pass on the good messages that I receive onto others, so that they, too, may find value in this message.

Being a good person to the wrong people may get you hurt, but it’s not your fault if you do get hurt.

I cannot stress this idea enough.

In my younger years, and this is a time of my life that some of you may already know about if you follow my content, there was a time when I was on the brink of doing something terrible. Something violent. A path of no return.
