Surround Yourself with Positive People-New
Energy is contagious. The people who you surround yourself with can affect your thoughts and actions. You might ask, “Where can I find happiness?” One secret to real happiness is to surround yourself with people that radiate happiness, so that you can absorb that energy to amplify your well-being, and in return, pass on that sunshine to someone else.
Think of a parasite in the rainforest. It gets its nutrients from the host without contributing anything to it. The host becomes depraved and exhausted from the parasite sucking all the life from it. It uses everything to form its structure. Now, imagine yourself as the host surrounded by pessimists or people with negative energy. They zap your energy with their doubts, whining, and fear, overshadowing your positive energy. They are like rain clouds dampening your day. Being around these people every day is draining to your mental health and depriving you from your happiness. You can use your positive energy to fend off their negativity, but think of gearing up to do this every day; even a soldier who is trained for battle, needs some time to recuperate in order to keep on moving. Even if you build a barrier to deflect the negative energy, it will one day come crumbling down because you need to be in another environment that will sprout radiant energy and help you to keep the barrier up.
A seed cannot sprout without the right conditions. It will not flourish. Then one can say that you too need the right conditions to be fruitful, that is to be enveloped by individuals that are optimistic. Energy is like bacteria. Some bacteria are good and others are bad. If negative energy continues to multiply then it will become too overbearing for the antibodies needed to protect your body. You creativity, self –esteem, and ultimately your joy will slowly dissipate.
You will use your energy instead to uplift yourself and have the time to nuture skills and focus on building yourself. You will not only have time for yourself but others will benefit from your upbeat attitude. The baton of positive energy will be passed on to another person, it’s like you are winning a race. The same can go for negative energy, it can be passed on like a heavy lead and at the end no one will be happy. There seems to be no end from their dark clouds.
Being around optimistic people will bring out the best qualities in you. Your energy will be spent on nurturing your skills instead of constantly deflecting the opposing factors. Think of how much you can accomplish! You will not be dragged down by the gray area of your life, but the radiant sun will filter its way through the dark clouds.
One secret to happiness in life is to surround yourself with positive people.
