Negative People Are Poison Do you readers have any people in your life who just love to bring you down, or make you mad or upset, or in any way have a negative effect on your mood or your well-being? I know I do. Why are people like that? All I can come up with is that they aren't content with their own lives so they don't want anyone else to be. I don't know, but it's something that I don't want to deal with anymore. All negative people in your life do is cause you to have bad emotions and bring you down. My friend, Stephanie, says that I should surround myself with positive people who make me feel good about myself and don't hold me back from being the best I can be. Have you ever been really proud of an accomplishment or something you have improved on? Did you tell people about it? In turn did your friend or whomever praise you or did they criticize you? The latter happened to me just last night and it wasn't the first time. I've been boxing and getting pretty good and I shared that with a friend and in return I got a negative comment. This friend just can't believe I can throw a good punch or be good at all at boxing. Now if you've been reading every post you'd know that I've been trying new things and I'm very happy with my progress, and when people put me down it upsets me. I'm trying to be my best self! I'd have never known what I was capable of if I was still on the same path I was a month ago, and I'm so happy that I am learning new things! But for anyone to bring me down for trying is so frustrating! At this point in my life I will not associate with anyone who has a negative effect on my happiness. The only people I want in my life are ones who are going to encourage me to keep trying, fighting, and forging a new and better me; one that is truly the best I can be. Mommy&B
