A negative person who complains or vents a lot can drain the life out of you. Life is short. Often, it’s best to simply detach and enjoy more interesting people or other pursuits.
Sometimes, however, you may want, or need, to have that person in your life because they are family or a co-worker. In those cases, you can’t control the other person, but you can control how you respond to them.
"Reflection of Inner Beauty" — Einstein by Mimi Stuart
Live the Life you Desire
So what I really meant is…
“I’m going to spend time with people who enrich my life.”
Time is valuable. The people you spend time with have a big impact on your life. It’s important to choose people, activities, and books that elevate your thinking, your attitude, and your life.
You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.
