Could you stand to experience more happiness? Is there any real reason you would not want to be more productive? Do you like the feeling of progressing toward your goals? Happiness, productivity, and progress can all be yours. All you need to do is start spending the right amount of time with the wrong people and stop spending the wrong amount of time with the right people. Did I just hear you say, “Huh?” It’s O.K. , hang on and I’ll explain.
A common theme I have been lucky enough to pick up on is purposeful, productive people who progress know how to limit their time as well as how to expand their time. Simply put, they limit their time with those who hate and expand their time with those that love.
Listen! Do you hear that sucking sound. That’s the energy and life being sucked out of someone who is spending too much time with a person or people that are constantly arguing, accusing, threatening, defending, ridiculing, whining, and complaining.
On the contrary, the people who have a pep in their step and smile all the while are the people who surround themselves with people that encourage, nourish, stretch, educate, challenge and champion them. Let’s borrow their brilliance and do the same.
You must become the masterful guardian of your own life. You must learn to effectively manage your energy and productivity. Discover how to guard your time ruthlessly and protect yourself from the haters, psychic vampires and idiots (inglorious deviant insects of toxicity). No insects were hurt in the making of this acronym.
You may not be able to completely eliminate the time you spend with the toxic deviants. However, you can greatly limit your exposure to them. The easiest way is to simply spend more time with those that see your full potential; even if you don’t. By spending more time with loving supportive people you will become cloaked with a positive repellent that will cause the psychic vampires to go find someone else on which to latch.
With over 7 billion people on the planet and with 314 million of those here in the United States there is no reason any one person is obligated to squander their time or energy with any who are haters. There really isn’t. You are free to wander and interact with whomever you desire.
Unless you are an idiot whisperer, stop trying to convert the people drinking all the hater-aid.
Run don’t walk from haters. The quality of your life depends on it. Get your love on.
Make it up, make it fun and you will make it happen!
