The Negative People

Do you best to avoid negative people in your life or the circle of friends or company you keep. You know the ones, you explain to them a new idea, by the time you have finished they are already giving you justifications and good reasons as to why it would not work. You tell them you want to do something different, and they draw all the barriers that they can think of, as if they're creating a checklist for you. Eventually it'll get to you and cause discouragement no matter how enthusiastic you are about your idea.

It is exhausting to be around such people. You end up always having to second guess yourself. Being unsure whether you are stupid in your plans or not. You can no longer understand why you are always tired and drop a plan at the middle, sometimes it's because of the words of doubt such people cast on you. You believe you are making them share the energy you have but the reality is you're losing your enthusiasm as you keep engaging them.

It is not about not talking with those who are a bit off some days. We all get a bit off and pessimistic some days, it's normal. But there are people who see something wrong in everything, everytime. They wait for it, they poke holes, then you end up being stuck to it, whether you like it or not.
You don't need any drama to keep your distance, just spot them and decide without even explaining yourself

The decision on who you discuss plans with or who to hang out with is a very important factor to whether you'll make progress in life or not. Choosing people who see opportunities, people who attempt to assist, people who do not burden themselves with everything. It does something good to your own mind. You have time to be able to actually try ideas and stuff out.

Life is not long enough to be burdened with the constant grievances of other people. So do you best to surround yourself with supportive people, those who can lift, those who can see what is important, those who make the process of moving forward easier for you. Your mind will be sharper, your thoughts will take root and you will not be dragging that heavy unnecessary baggage around.
