How You May Be Sabotaging Your Life

How You May Be Sabotaging Your Life

By:


I came across this unique little quote that said "If you're feeling bad about your family, just remember that families are a lot like fudge; mostly sweet, with a few nuts scattered here and there".

What a perfect description for some of my relatives. I'm thinking of one in particular. This person has to be the most negative human on the planet. No matter what good everyone else finds in a situation, this person will come up a negative reason as to why it won't happen, or why its not good enough.

Do you have a few kinfolks like that around you? I'll bet on it! For the sake of peace you try being civil and find yourself enduring their negativity, Right?. I truly enjoy being around them because of their blue type personality, you know the type, they are known to be the life of the party type person.

Since I've been indulging in mentoring and have learn the truth about some things, such as life. I started limiting my association with this person. The visits that used to be up to two hours long turned into 30 minutes. I still wasn't ready to separate myself from them totally. With me being a yellow personality type, I would always worry about how my actions might effect the other person feelings.

My very wise mentor always said it is none of my business what other people think of me. The only thing that matters is what I think of myself. This mentor also said that when you find people that are always talking about other people to you, you can be certain that they are talking to others about you as well.

I hesitated to accept those statements as truth for quite some time. I had to dwell on it for a while. Then reality set in and I finally did accept it and know it to be true. Now it was decision making time. I decided the best thing for me was to avoid as much contact as possible with certain people that just don't fit into my life anymore. I refused to sabotage my life!

The lesson learned for me is that I get to choose what kind of life I will live. Since, I am the designer of my life, I choose to spend quality time with only like minded people and avoid the negative ones. Yes, sometimes this does mean family.

Personal development has taught me that I create my own life. I make the decisions of what my eyes sees, what my ears hear, and what comes out of my mouth. I want what's best for me to reach my goals and it really doesn't matter what another thinks about me, or the decisions I make.

I found that putting this advice from my mentor into action really feels liberating. I now have more clarity and peace of mind to focus on what is important in my life. So, I will pass this same great lesson learned on to you. If you are finding it hard to cut the strings of attachment to certain associations that may be holding you back, stop lingering. You don't have to sabotage your life. Give yourself the gift of freedom and breakaway from them. You will realize it was one of the best things you ever did for yourself.

Enjoy peace of mind!
