Do you really know the people who say they know you? Do you have discernment? Sometimes people are not who they say they are. Take the time to pay attention to those who are attached to you or who are interested in you. It is important to understand that everyone who approaches you for friendship or otherwise has an agenda. It is your responsibility to find out what that agenda is. If that agenda is not anything that benefits you, then you may need to evaluate your situation again. Pay attention and look below every personality surface. Look beyond the mask that people wear and decipher their motives. Make sure you understand that some people really do support you and others are secretly envious of you. You need to know the difference. Your life may depend on it.
