If you surround yourself with negative people, you'll start to see the world more negatively.

Welcome back to On Purpose, the place that you find your purpose from people living and finding

theirs. This is the place where you get to uncover your potential, your ideas, your passion,

and start making progress towards your greatest goals and a happier life.

I'm so grateful to each and every one of you that subscribed, rated, and reviewed already.

Thank you so much for doing that. If you haven't, please make sure you do.

And I love the fact that you're listening every single week. When you're doing this,

while you're commuting to work or back from work, whether you're doing this at the gym or maybe

you're making time for it, while you're doing some work on the side, whichever way it may be.

Maybe you're walking your dog, whatever you're up to, tuning in your mind into purpose, fulfilment,

meaning is going to help you in so many ways. Thank you so much for making this commitment.

I can't wait for you to listen to this episode. Now, we all have friends that we love,

but are absolutely draining to talk to. You know what I mean. Every time they call,

you know exactly what you're in for. Avent session. And that can last hours and hours and hours.

About everything that's wrong, everything that's messed up, everything that's unfair,

and you're still wondering to yourself, why do you pick up that call? Why do you respond to that

message? Now, sometimes they're talking about issues at work. Sometimes it's about their

girlfriend or boyfriend. And sometimes it's just about how nothing seems to ever go right for them.

Now don't get me wrong. I know all of us who are compassionate and empathetic want to help,

want to support. Maybe you've tried introducing them to books you love, people you love, classes,

courses, programs. But we find time and time again that a lot of people around us avoid solutions,

avoid focusing on trying to get better and continue to dive into the negativity.
