Avoid negative people
You have one life to live. You want to
be happy and to make your life meaningful. You haven’t got time to waste with
negative people. They will drain your energy. When they fine a willing
audience, they won’t let it go. They may have justifiable concerns but too
often get involved in minor matters. They blame and look for excuses. Even when
blame can be justified it serves no productive good. They are usually negative
because they have ceded control of their happiness to others-the boss, the
neighbors, the kids, the politicians, the police.
Be polite and encouraging to negative
people. You can be compassionate, but still be strong enough to walk away. Everyone
has problems, but not everyone allows those problems to rule them. You can
offer a temporary safe haven without becoming a permanent home. You do not have
to sacrifice your life to the problem of another.
