How to overcome the challenge of bad influence
“Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are.”
This is an old saying, which can help us immensely if we become inspired and motivated by its meaning.
I know many people are constantly influenced negatively by others, simply because they relate to pessimistic, ignorant, and jealous opportunists.
What is curious about this type of situation is that we are free to choose to improve our self-esteem by leaving this kind of person behind, making new friends and deciding to become involved with a different energy and consciousness.
If you fit into any of the above examples, what would you do if you knew that you have the power and the strength to resolve these types of relationships, but do not use them?
To my surprise, I see numerous cases of people trapped in abusive situations emotionally, complaining all day, mired in the suffering this kind of relationship brings, as if they were unable to extricate themselves. Make no mistake: some think they have an obligation to stay like this, even though it is destructive. I believe we can love people without judging them as long as we do not fail to achieve positive results in whatever we want. Our radar needs to detect when to continue with our dreams and fulfillment without the prejudice of those who have limited minds.
This type of challenge can serve to strengthen our determination and vision for a better future and even inspire those with whom we interact.
What do you prefer? Being influenced by someone who does not have the ability to support someone or by someone who supports and helps you at any time?
