3 Safeguards To Protect You From Negative People

Just received a "woe is me" text from someone in my family. Ever get those?

It made me think of the safeguards I've put up over the years to protect my mind and keep me positive. Is it cool if I share with you? 

But if they always say, "Oh I'm okay..." or "eh, I'm been better," they're likely going to DRAIN you. Avoid people who consistently respond with, "I'm okay..." 

Obviously, give em a few chances. But you get the point!

In fact, if you always respond to this question with the way you WANT to feel, even if you're having a challenging day, you'll make other people happy! That's why I'll always say, "I'm fantastic!" I learned that when I do that, I start to feel fantastic. And it lifts other people higher!

3.) Filter incoming advice. 

Don't take:

• money advice from broke parents. 
• marriage advice from ppl in an unhappy relationship. 
• business advice from part-time or standard 9-5 workers.

Do take:

• money advice from wealthy & happy people. 
• marriage advice from a couple with passion & love. 
• business advice from a successful business owner!

Typically when negative people give you advice, it's NOT going to help you grow. To be honest, they're probably NOT trying to hurt you. They're trying to protect you from experiencing the same pain they feel because of their lack of fulfillment. You CAN'T let that bring you down! 

Even though their intention is solid, still not a good idea.
