Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” – Mark Twain
First, let me state my definition of a toxic person- A person who complains and dumps their problems on you but doesn't do anything to change their situation. Someone who is not supportive. Someone who makes you feel badly about yourself. Someone who shoots down your bright ideas, big goals, or bold (and risky) decisions. Toxic people are usually in a place in their life where they are not open to constructive feedback or changing, so they are stuck in their current situation and don’t have the insight to see beyond their own struggles.
Reflecting on being positive and happy should be a daily activity. I notice a lot lately (especially on facebook) it's being highlighted. One thing that impedes upon positivity is negative people. Negative people are not happy and they do not want you to be happy. They are like viruses...once you catch it, they make you sick and your once healthy body is now compromised.
Negative people can't stand your smile, your happy family, your outlook on life. They want you to feel like them...pitiful and sad, unhappy and mentally diseased. They want you to engage in conversation with them as they gossip about others. They want you know all of your business so they can spread it on to the next person while pretending to be your friend. They secretly want to destroy you because they have no life and no purpose. The next time you encounter such a person, smile and walk away. Don't allow this influence in your life.
Which path will you choose?
