POSITIVE PEOPLE ONLY!

Hey positive peeps! It's been awhile! :) So how's it going? I hope all is well, and if not, I know it may sound cliche, but hang in there because things will turn around! Everything that goes up must come down, that's the law of gravity and a metaphor for life. Nothing lasts forever - this includes any negative situations you may find yourself in at the moment, so don't give up hope!

Speaking of negative situations, sometimes those situations are highly influenced, or even started, by negative people in your life. And that's basically what this post is all about. If you're reading this at all, I could be wrong, but I'm assuming you're a positive person (or at least someone who is making an effort to become positive) and as a positive person (or a wanna' be) you're also probably a nice person. As a nice person myself, I realize that we often can be too nice or should I say, nice to the wrong people. Hear me loud and clear when I say this because it may actually change your life (and I'm not joking): EVERYONE DOES NOT DESERVE A PLACE IN YOUR LIFE. That's right, I said it and I meant it! Please don't get me wrong and take that as if I think I'm "too good" but the fact of the matter is, I am too good to deal with negative people who are only going to take up space and drain all the positivity out of me, and you are too!

You ever meet people that never have anything good to say? Think that the world revolves around them and you couldn't get a compliment out of them to save their life? Or what about the ones who claim to be your friend but are actually jealous of you and take any opportunity to point out something you've done wrong or to hurt your feelings? The list of these type of negative people goes on and on but you get the point. These people have no place in your life and you should never feel bad about moving them out. It's funny how some of us will be quick to cut loose a person we may be in a romantic relationship with if they do something that we don't like, but will hold on to so called "friends" forever because we don't want to "hurt their feelings" or "we've been friends for so long... ". Who cares? A person like that isn't truly your friend because they obviously don't value your friendship given the way that they're treating you. And I'm not just saying this, I have lived it. I have had to tell one "friend" in particular, to her face, that I just didn't want to be friends anymore. Sounds mean but she was draining the life out of me. It was a toxic relationship that I just couldn't afford to be in anymore. My motto from then on has been "POSITIVE PEOPLE ONLY." I refuse to let negative people take up space in my life and I advice you not to either. Love yourself more to know that you deserve more. This saying doesn't just apply to a boyfriend/girlfriend/wife or husband but "friends" as well. POSITIVE PEOPLE ONLY!

  1. Don't forget family members - blood does not mean you can be careless and mean. Why do family members treat family worse than they would ever treat a mere acquaintance? Really? Dump them and the guilt.

    1. True. Although I do think it's hard to just "dump" family members and I would try my hardest to get through to them before I made that decision, but you're right. The truth is, we don't choose our family, they're just given to us, and just because someone is family doesn't mean that they have the right to treat you negatively. It's a hard choice but sometimes you DO have to let them go, too.
