Not everyone deserves a seat on your table

বিজ্ঞাপন

Life often feels like a small dining table. We sit there and many people come to share a meal with us. We lay down our energy, our hearts and our time upon it. The chairs are limited it’s not a grand table actually. Ideally, those seats are only for the ones who truly care, who come with sincerity, who show up not just for themselves, but for us too.

But the reality is, we are often too kind for everyone. We let anyone sit there, even when they only come when it’s comfortable for them, then leave as soon as they find another table that feels livelier. Even worse, I used to think that everyone deserved a seat at my table so I sacrificed myself just to make sure others could sit and enjoy what I had to offer.

I thought that when more people were at my table, it meant I was more valuable and important to them. That the more who stayed, the more worthy and enough I would finally be. But the truth? Many of them only stayed for a moment, leaving behind empty plates and a tired heart after I gave all my effort to make them feel welcome. And yes, in the end, I sat there waiting for them to return — holding on to false hope.

Until I finally realized: not everyone deserves a seat at my table. Not everyone deserves my time and my energy. And that doesn’t make me selfish but it means I’ve learned to value myself.

Respect yourself means daring to say “enough” to those who only drain you. It means choosing to keep the chair empty, rather than giving it to someone who will only disturb your peace. Sometimes, an empty seat is much better than a seat occupied by the wrong person.

And you have that same right. You don’t have to be there for everyone. You can’t make everyone around you happy. You don’t need to let just anyone into your life simply because you’re afraid of being Week  as an unkind person. Kindness does not mean allowing others to hurt you nor does it mean sacrificing yourself to the point you start questioning your existence.

Your table is sacred and you must protect it. Let only those who truly value you take a seat. The ones who know how to listen, who are willing to share, who make you feel at home and who want to grow with you.

So, starting today, stop giving your time and energy to people who don’t value them. Your life is far too precious to be wasted on those who can’t see your worth. And when the right person comes along, you’ll feel it your life will feel meaningful.
