Negative Beliefs Can Be Worrisome For Positive People
There may come a time when you have to set boundaries against
negative people with negative beliefs, by surrounding yourself with
positive people with positive beliefs.
Negative people can literally drain you and make you ill with the
negative vibrations emanating from their enegry and the words coming
out of their mouth.
If you don't have a strong positive attitude, they will completely
disrupt your way of thinking and believing. This is why it's
important for you to set boundaries with negative people.
Surround Yourself With Positive People For Success By Bud Bilanich
Self confidence is an important key to personal and professional
success. If you want to become self confident you need to do three
things.
1) Become an optimist.
2) Face your fears and take action.
3) Surround yourself with positive people.
In this article, I'd like to focus on how to set boundaries and the importance of surrounding
yourself with positive people. Positive people help your self
confidence because they tend to see the potential in you - even when
you might not see it in yourself. Negative people, on the other hand,
will hinder your self confidence because they tend to reinforce your
self doubt and negative beliefs about yourself.
As Mark Twain Said...
"Keep away from people who
try to belittle your ambitions. Small
people always do that. The
really great make you feel that you too
can become great."
Positive people help you realize your dreams. Negative people take
them away. Positivity and optimism are contagious. Unfortunately, so
are negativity and pessimism. Set boundaries and surround yourself with positive people,
and you'll become positive and self confident.
On the other hand, if you don't set boundaries, and surround yourself with negative people instead, you'll
become negative and lose your confidence. Self confidence and
negativity are mutually exclusive.
Negative People Tend To Come In Two
Flavors...
Cynics and humorists. Cynics are not fun. They don't like much of
anything. They're the kind of people who complain about having to pay
taxes after winning the lottery. Humorists, on the other hand, can be
seductive.
They're clever and amusing. They go around with a smirk on their
face, using humor to point out everything that's wrong. At first,
they can be fun to be around. It's like the two of you have an inside
joke on the world. In the long run though, their negativity will wear
you out.
Set Boundaries
Set boundaries and walk away from the negative people you encounter. End your toxic
friendships. It may be difficult at first, but as you move away from
negative people, you'll become more positive and will attract
positive people into my life.
Forming a group of positive friends and colleagues is one way of
surrounding yourself with positive people. Make a commitment to meet
with this group on a regular basis to discuss one another's hopes,
dreams and goals.
Exchange Ideas And Support One
Another
You want to find people who accept you for who you are, but are
willing to challenge you, in a positive and constructive manner, to
excel and to become a personal professional success.
I can't take credit for this idea. In Think and Grow Rich, probably
the most famous self help book of all time, Napoleon Hill suggested
the idea of Mastermind Alliances. An article in the February 2009
issue of SUCCESS Magazine defines a Mastermind Alliance...
"The Mastermind principle
consists of an alliance of two or more
minds working in perfect
harmony for the attainment of a common
definite objective. Success
does not come without the cooperation
of others."
A Mastermind Alliance then, is a group of positive people helping one
another achieve goals; exactly what I suggested above.
Of course if you want to surround yourself with positive people, you
need to be a positive person yourself. Here are ten small sentences
you should incorporate into your daily vocabulary if you want to
become known as a positive person:
You can do it.
I believe in you.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
I need you.
I trust you.
I respect you.
I appreciate you.
I value you.
I love you.
Here Are Some Of My Best Ideas On Attracting
Positive People
Think positively. Train yourself to see the opportunity in every
difficulty and the good in every person you meet. Be genuinely happy
about not only your success - but the success of others in your life.
Smile. Smiles are contagious. When you smile at others, they tend to
return the favor. A smile can have a positive impact on someone who
is having a bad day. By smiling, you'll attract other smiling
positive people - the kind of people who will help you fulfill your
dreams.
Speak positively. You attract positive people when you say positive
things. When someone greets me by saying, "How are you?" I always
smile and answer "Great, and you?" even if I'm having a tough day.
This doesn't mean that I don't share my troubles with close friends.
I just don't wear them on my sleeve.
The common sense point here is simple. Self confidence is an
important key to personal and professional success. Surrounding
yourself with positive people is a great way to build your self
confidence.
Set boundaries and jettison the negative people in your life. If you can't remove them
completely, do your best to keep them at arm's length. Build a
network of positive people by being positive yourself. Think
positively. Smile. Speak positively.
