“Few of us write great novels; all of us live them.” ~Mignon McLaughlin
Do you spend a lot of time being influenced by someone else’s drama? Are energy vampires draining you and leaving you exhausted?
Life can be challenging at times, but all drama all the time is not required. If someone in your environment is always coming to you with their problems, their negative viewpoint or the latest episode of their personal soap opera don’t be pulled into their story.
How we live our lives can’t be determined by outside events – or people. If we allow that to happen, our sense of self will always be directed by what’s going on outside of us. We will be in permanent react mode instead of setting our own pace.
Are you living from your core beliefs and feelings, or are you always riding on a roller coaster of emotions, pulled along by outside events and people?
You make the choice.
