Ditch The Negative In Your Life In One Step

Have you ever wondered if there was something you could do to have a more positive life and ridding yourself of the negative? Have you ever wondered who or what the source was of the negativity that keeps recurring in your life? What if I told you that you can ditch the negative in your life with one step? If you can relate to any of those questions, rest assured you’re not alone. Recently I had a conversation with someone that went something along the lines of this:

She said, “I am working on managing my “Little Voice” and find that sometimes the “Little Voice” is actually what I am hearing from my friends.” So I asked her, “You mean like negative things friends have said to you in the past?” She responded with, “No, things like all of the reasons why what I’m doing is wrong, too risky and every reason why I won’t be successful.” My response was, “Get some new friends!”

Seriously guys, you need to ask yourselves, “who’s on my team?” If anyone on your team, in life or in business, is constantly telling you why you won’t succeed at something, instead of trying to help you succeed, that person has got to go. Trust me when I say it’s enough of a challenge to deal with your own “Little Voices” trying to tell you what you can or cannot do. A friend pushing their “Little Voice” and negative energy on you doesn’t do them or you any favours.

Be aware. The next time you’re sharing your dreams and goals with friends… take notice. Are they trying to help you get where you want to go, or are they are telling you all of the reasons you’ll never make it. In many cases, this is the sad and true story of “misery loves company”. Your failure verifies their position and in some sick way makes them feel better, possibly making them feel like they even helped you; but really they are doing this to help their own ego. Because when you do succeed, you are going to make them wrong, and then they might have to take responsibility for not acting on their own dreams and goals.

Pay close attention to who’s on your team, and who you spend your time with. If you have friends feeding your negative “Little Voices,” make some new friends who are successfully pursuing their passion, because those are the friends who will want to lift you up with them and have much more supportive words to offer you when you’ll need them the most.

​As the saying goes, “your vibe attracts your tribe.” Ask yourself who is on your team. Pay attention, because sometimes the quickest way to change your life and ditch the negative is to change your friends.
