"In every single thing you do, you
are choosing a direction. Your life
is a product of choices."
Dr. Kathleen Hall
Someone was telling me today about
a recent luncheon she had, and how
disappointed she was that the two
other women spent the whole time
complaining about people.
So she won't go with them again.
She was not judging the other
women as being wrong, she was
just being true to her choice not
to be around negative energy.
Our life is a product of our choices,
and one of the most important
choices is who we associate with.
If we associate with generally upbeat
and positive people, our lives will
reflect that.
If we associate with negative people,
we'll wonder why we're always
feeling discouraged and tense.
In my experience, it seems that the
negative people outnumber the
positive ones, so we have to choose
carefully.
We also have to BE positive and
supportive so they will choose us!
If you're in a negative environment
at work, it's better to eat lunch alone
than to subject yourself to an hour of
negative gossip, gloom and doom
just to have company.
What if the negative people are
family? Well, as I've heard Bob
Proctor say, just don't go as often
and don't stay as long. Take
responsibility for your environment.
You'll be glad you did.
Many blessings,
This is so very apt. If we seek to be around people of positive energy all the time without aspiring to be sources of same to others, that would make us like... SELFISH.
