Have you ever really wanted to do something great but then you share your dream with someone and they tell you “It just can’t be done?”
Yes … there are people that are so pessimistic that they always see the negative side of everything.
They always see the glass as half empty rather than half full. These people are toxic.
Toxic people are convinced that everything is impossible, and they are quick to shoot down your ideas. They’ll poison your mind into a state of hopelessness, depress you and drain your energy.
We have all met those “energy drainers.” They are the people that seem to have a perpetual cloud hanging over their heads. They have the keen ability to turn good news into bad news. Yes, they are the kind of people you avoid asking “How are you?” for fear they will give always give you a terrible answer. Energy vampires are going to appear in and out of your life . The trick is to learn how to deal with them before they appear and avoid them as much as possible. If you don’t then they will truly suck all the energy right out of you without you even realizing it.
They will have a huge effect on your life and whether you are able to achieve your dreams and goals.
Don’t let these people steal your energy just because they’ve lost theirs.
Try not to surround yourself with the type of people who are always telling you “you can’t”
Instead, surround yourself with supportive and passionate people who can both inspire you and bring out the best in you.
Have people around you that will lift you up when you feel down and help you see the bright side of your darkest fears and doubts.
Have people around you who even when you are unsure or scared about embarking on a new venture, will believe in you and encourage you to try .. Rather than telling you “you will never make it”
You also need to remember that no one can drain you if you don’t let them.
Have a healthy dose of self confidence. Believe in yourself! The Creator has given you certain gifts, attributes and talents that NO ONE can take away.
So whatever you want to achieve in life… you ALREADY have the resources in you to get it.
Remember whatever your mind can conceive and your heart can believe you can achieve.
Today’s Prayer
Dear Almighty, please help me during this week to remember that I can do ALL things because you have equipped me to. Help me to surround myself with positive people who will inspire and motivate, rather than pull me down.
