We have all heard the old adage that opposites attract. Well, that holds true for magnets, but I’m
not so sure that is the case with people.
Have you noticed how negative people tend to attract negative people, jocks
hang with jocks, stoners hang with stoners, professional victims attract
professional victims, and positive people attract positive people. If we know chaos the best, that is where we
find comfort. If we are victims, we find
comfort with other victims. If we are
positive people, we feel most comfortable around other positive people. The
truth is we seek our own type, as that is what we know best. Yes, we are all
products of our environment, but that does not mean we have to stay in said
environment. Now here is the gazillion
dollar question.
How can you ever change your life or the lives of others if
you keep yourself in the same situation? The only way to get anything done is through
change. If people are pulling you down,
find new people. If situations are
emotionally draining, remove yourself from the situation. If a job is wrecking the rest of your life,
it’s time to consider other options.
Change is not always easy, but it can be done.
Mahatma Gandhi put it best, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
