They say you are the sum of the five people you spend the most time
with. So if you spend most of your time
with people who are negative, unhappy and toxic, chances are all their bad
feelings and unhappiness are going to rub off on you. Now if you hang around with people who are
happy, motivated and successful, same thing, chances are you will also be
happy, motivated and successful.
Many times, we aren’t even aware of how much influence the people we
are around have on us. For example, if
your co-worker complains daily about the boss, another co-worker, how terrible
things are at work and so on, chances are you are leaving work a not so happy
camper. You have taken in all that
negativity and toxicity and what do you think you are going to do with it?
That’s right, you are going to go home and share it with your loved
ones!
In order to be happy, you must surround yourself with happy,
confident, goal oriented people. Because
people like that, who know where they are going and know what they want out of
life, don’t have time for negativity and unhappy feelings. They are too busy being happy and successful!
We see these negative people all over.
They are our family, our friends, our bosses, our co-workers, sometimes
they are even our significant other.
Some people you can weed out of your life, some you cannot. You are the only one who can decide that.
Take notice of yourself. Take
notice of the five people you see spend the most time with. Are these people lifting you higher or
bringing you down? If they are bringing
you down, then perhaps you need to change that for the better. Start hanging around with uplifting, cheerful
people. And if you don’t have any
uplifting people in your life, start looking today. Happy people are contagious. Once you are around them, you will always
want to be around them and you won’t have time for the negative people anymore!
From the young to the old, it doesn’t matter. Make the point of surrounding yourself with
people who lift your spirits, who make you laugh, who make you smile, who
encourage you, who want to see you live your best life. Do that, and watch your life change. Watch as you feel the enthusiasm that maybe
you have been missing. You will smile
more, think better and feel more alive.
And at the end of the day, isn’t that what we all want?
