People usually never consider who they are friends with or who they work with. This should be a consideration whenever you accept a new friend. It isn’t rude or stuck up to turn down someone or even shed a Toxic Friend. It is completely necessary. Think about the people you spend the most time with. Do you look forward to seeing them each time? Is it always you who is the helper or the person who will drive to see them or have the party? Everything in life should be balanced. It is important to level out all aspects and make sure that the people on the other side are equal in their efforts, friendship and accountability or you will always feel things are not right.

            Are the people you are around negative? I met a man the other day who was considering starting his own business. I asked why and it was for one reason. He said “My Boss is the most negative person I know and I can’t stand it any longer. His boss won’t do anything about it because he hits his numbers and does his job in their eyes with no concern for anyone else in their company who supports him.” I told him to not only start up his company but do it quickly. You should never have to feel like you have to put up with a negative person even if that person is your boss, a family member, a friend you have had forever… no one! This will only drag you down and keep you from exceeding and creating the positive force you can absolutely be! Get rid of the negativity in your life and it can be a very hard transition but when you break through you will amaze yourself and ask “Why didn’t I do this earlier?” Life is too short not to enjoy every minute and everyone that you are around every day! Your mission this week… Be Positive and Happy!
