I was asking a friend why is it that some persons can’t allow others to be joyful even if they are not and she said you know that old saying “misery loves company”, that’s why. I realized she was right. No matter what is going on the do their best to make sure as long as they are not happy then nobody else should be. Why must this be? Why not just wallow in your own misery, anger etc and not try putting your poison out to everybody else that’s around you. I know we all know at least one person that is like that. You know the worst thing about it they very often don’t even realize that they are doing it because in their mind they are doing something normal. But how can it be normal to treat people with such disrespect and scant regard.
There is a big pie out there and we all can get a slice. I think that it’s never ending because as a slice is taken out it’s replenished by that higher being. Why envy what others have ? I was talking to someone and I said to them don’t let these people steal your joy. If you allow them to their darkest will follow you. If you don’t take care it will envelop you. You will become just like them. Birds of a feather flock together. Very often it’s a slow process, you don’t realize what is happening until you are sucked in. Sometimes you don’t even realize that you have become as toxic as they are until someone mentions it. When that happens you “take time to pull your hand out of the lion’s mouth”, as that old saying advises. Get away from the toxicity. You don’t have to move physically but mentally. The mind is a powerful thing and it controls what happens to you. The important thing is that you control it. You have to determine what happens in you life. Stay away from the energy vampires and naysayers.
While I was talking to the friend who gave me the quote I what can we learn from these people and she said adversity builds character. Think about it, if they make you fight to put out your best then it’s a part of character building. It’s like that meme that shows stones being thrown at you, what do you do? There are two options allow them to hit you and take you down or catch them and grab them and build with them. Take each stone to build your life. You decide if they make you or break you. The stones will make everything around you sturdy as you know you will not allow anything to steal your joy.
