The most important things that influence our actions and emotions, are often people. That's why it is essential to our well-being that we surround ourselves with positive people who love us and look out for our best interests.
Haven't you ever noticed that after hanging around someone you begin to feel the energy they give off?
Many times we let the behavior and words of others destroy our inner peace. Although it may seem like we have no control over it, you have to believe that you do. Frequently we give the excuse that "we're only human" or that we are "too forgiving" or "too nice".
But, there has to be a point in your life where you make a decision to start controlling your own happiness and make the effort to rid your life of toxicity and bad energy. After awhile, we begin to let people take a toll on us, which ultimately leaves us with the feeling of discomfort and unhappiness.
We have to learn to keep our distance from pessimism and people who assume the worst of most situations. It becomes an unhealthy environment to be in and a feeling of discouragement and negativity often lingers.
Many times we are our own worst enemies--in our minds and in our hearts. We don't need any other outside influence of negativity to keep us somewhere where we don't want to be in our lives.
Isn't it a great feeling when you have someone who is so full of positivity and encouragement it starts to rub off on you? These are the kind of people we need to have in our lives--people who are encouraging, drama-free, and those who will lift you higher. Those who refuse to let negative energy flow their way and those who recognize and appreciate the positives, are people who help us grow and improve.
We tend to keep people around that don't elevate us in any way, shape, or form. And most of the time we don't realize that this is keeping us from reaching our highest potential in any relationship--family, friends, or romantic. It is vital that we keep people in our life that truly motivate, love, inspire, and care for us. If you have people in your life that don't fulfill any of those, then it's okay to let them go.
I have learned from my own experiences that I am only going to be as good as the people I surround myself with, so I am comfortable with making changes to better myself as an individual and to let go of those who weigh me down.
The less you respond and engage with negative people, the more peaceful your life will become. We are the most important things in our lives, so we have to protect ourselves from what doesn't better us. Be with those who bring out the best in you and love yourself enough to know that you deserve everything good life has to offer.
