“The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on an elevator. They’ll either take you up or they’ll take you down.” Alexander Lockhart<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Rolodex\"Why associate yourself with negative people?\u00a0\u00a0 It is a very simple question with a huge impact.<\/p>\n

Have you ever been so extremely happy one minute and then your friend comes by and you can feel your mood drop?\u00a0 This may not happen right away but I am sure you have noticed someone around you that causes this to happen.\u00a0 What do you do about it?\u00a0 Most people stay around and never say anything about it and let it happen time and time again.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong.\u00a0 We all have our bad days where we bring other people to the bottom of the barrel with us and that is one reason we have close relationships – so we have someone who will take that ride with us when needed.\u00a0 But those around you who are doing it day after day are impacting your life in ways you may not even think about until you sit back and look.<\/p>\n

So, take a moment and open your contact list on your phone or in your e-mail.\u00a0 Who all are constantly negative?\u00a0 Think about this hard.\u00a0 Who always drags you down, dampens your attitude for the remainder of the day (or sometimes days), and then effects everyone around you as you are taking their negativity around?\u00a0 It may be time to delete them.<\/p>\n

“We all need a daily check up from the neck up to avoid stinkin’ thinkin’ which ultimately leads to hardening of the attitudes. ”\u00a0 Zig Ziglar<\/span><\/h3>\n
