Make sure you surround yourself with the kinds of people who will positively affect your life. Those who love to point out the downside of your choices or consistently blame and complain will slowly but surely bring you down, waste your precious energy, and siphon your life force.
There’s no reason for you to feel guilty about valuing what you want and limiting your contact with anyone who drains you. Seek out people and situations who will have an inspiring, encouraging influence on your life, and create an exchange of energy that grows in contagious positivity.
