Throughout life, we’ll be exposed to all kinds of influences: good, bad, positive, negative – whatever
How much harder is it to do the right thing when surrounded by people with low standards?
How much easier is it to do the right thing when surrounded by people with high standards?
Or to be positive in a room full of negativity?
Or negative in a room full of positivity?
Better yet, how much harder is it to focus on our own issues when we’re distracted with other people’s drama or issues?
There’s no rule that says we have to entertain these negative influences – of course this is easier said than done – but we don’t have to let them in.
It’s a choice.
