The signpost on the path to inner peace reads –
“Not my circus, not my monkeys!”
The people that you associate with matter more than you know, especially when it comes to your inner peace. If you are around someone, for even a short period of time, they will affect your energy either positively or negatively. By being very selective concerning who you associate with, you are keeping your personal energy field free from the contamination of others’ negative energy, which can be very infectious.
Just think about how many times you have been in a great mood, with very positive energy, and then you received a phone call from a friend who dumped all of his garbage and negative energy on you. Without a doubt, your mood changed almost immediately. Unhappy, negative people tend to look for others to vent to and unintentionally spread their negative attitude and energy.
Both positive and negative energy is infectious. This is why you should be careful when it comes to those people you spend a lot of time with in your life. You want to spend time with friends and family who lift you up, help you maintain a positive attitude, and foster inner peace in your life, not with those who are constantly negative, complaining, and making it hard for you to maintain your peace and tranquility.
