“Time decides who you meet in life, your heart decides who you want in your life, and your behavior decides who stays in your life.” unknown

Each of these statements is worth exploring, but time and space will not allow.

For our purpose in today’s post, let us focus on the idea of who stays in our life.

I understand that people come and go for a number of reasons. Job transfers, family matters, economic changes, and a host of circumstances have brought people into my life and taken them out of it. I am sure the same is true for each of you reading this thought.

However, have we ever considered the affect our conduct has on those who stay and those who leave?

The way we conduct ourselves can cause others to want to leave and not stay in our life.

Our conduct can also create a bond that no distance could separate them from our life.

The choice is really ours to make. We are best served to conduct ourselves in such a way that relationships develop a bond to keep people in our lives.
