-Life Cleanse-
The only people worthy to
be in your life are the ones that build you up. Do the people you surround
yourself with bring the best out in you or serve as a sponge for all their
problems and negativity? Emotions are contagious and misery isn't going to be
rewarded. You can't change anyone but yourself and you can't be positive until
you're no longer being influenced by them.
I’m sure this is something everyone can relate to. You
wake up feeling good. You turn your music on, jam out (maybe that’s just me :o))
and you build yourself up for what is going to be an awesome positive day. No
matter where life takes you that day, you’re going to encounter negative
people. The complainers, the gossipers, people that are mad at the world (not
you), and people that let fear run their life. I do understand that life brings
challenges and it’s not realistic to be happy go lucky every day. You’re
allowed to have a bad day. But something I try to remember is that no one is at
fault for what I am personally going through. There is no reason to take my bad
day and make them company to it. As simple as this may sound, we all get caught
up in all of the negative acts of emotion. When you surround yourself with
people that complain or gossip, you find yourself getting involved and engaging
in their negativity. You may add into it. Not because you want to. Not because
you really mean it. But you got pulled into it. It can be compared to a sugar
high. You feel okay while the act or conversation is going on, but then you’re
left feeling bad about yourself. We’ve all done it and been there. Forgive
yourself! What I am personally working on is trying to avoid these situations.
This is definitely hard to do because even some of my close friends and people I
have to associate with every day are these negative people. You can’t just drop
your friends, or run away from problems at work, but there are solutions and
ways to better deal when these situations arise. Even though difficult, I feel to
make a better me, it is possible and something I must strive for. I have been
tested a lot in the past months. God has placed me in negative situations and I
noticed I kept getting the same test until I finally realized what He was
doing. I can’t change the people around me. I can only concentrate on myself. I
have not aced the test yet. I can say I’m getting better. This is where the Life
Cleanse starts. Separating myself from things that don’t make me happy or don’t
serve my purpose that I have been given. Concentrate on the positive and you
will see positive results. Concentrate on the negative and you will see the
negative. We all have the choice. Be Positive!
Much Love and God Bless,
Lisa
