Letting Go...

2/23/2015

0 Comments

 
This morning as I was going through the various inspirational readings I do each day, I came across this section on SimpleReminders.com from Bryant McGill.  This reading reminded me of a training session I attended several years ago conducted by Dr. Eric Cupp. Lately, I have allowed some toxic people into my life and that must be changed.  The suck all of the joy and pleasure from my life and it is my own fault for allowing that to happen. They for the most part are jealous insecure individuals and attack me personally for recent recognition of my writing on an international level. They are sad and pathetic really and I should not give them any more of my time and attention. So when I read the below section, I was reminded of Dr. Cupp and what I needed to do to remove toxic emotional vampires from my life. With that decision, a huge weight seemed to fall from my shoulders and a lightness filled me with peace and calm.


Please read the section below and reflect on your life and those people who are toxic and those who are to be celebrated.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From Bryant McGill's FaceBook page:

You must firmly, absolutely and ruthlessly protect your safety and sanity. Misery loves good company, so if you are surrounded with drama, gossip and fools you may want to consider that you are presently at risk of becoming one of them. The real zombie-apocalypse is the pandemic of drama and mediocrity. Troublemakers will infect you with the malady of their madness. And especially, if your positivity immune system is low, any exposure to a person afflicted with negativity can poison your life. You have to get these people out of your life once and for all. One of the fastest ways you can profoundly change your life is to rid yourself of toxic people. When you do come in contact with one of these people run for your life. Get to safety. Meditatively and spiritually decontaminate yourself. Scrub down your brain with a wire-brush and remove their insanity from the corridors of your mind. Inoculate yourself immediately by creating a safe space and aligning yourself with healthy people. If you have to go it alone for a while until you find your healthy tribe and chosen family, that is fine. Being alone is much better than being around negative people out of loneliness or desperation.
