We’ve all probably heard the saying, ‘You’re known by the company you keep’.
But how many of us realise that we eventually become the company we keep too?
Everyday relationships, friendships and even acquaintance-ships have the slow and silent power to rub off their effects and behavioural patterns onto you.
When you find yourself amongst people whom you dislike or find disturbing to be around with, take care to see that you don’t respond in kind. Never lose the inner core of your wonderfulness, no matter how many unpleasant people and situations you may face.
Don’t defend yourself by emotionally by putting up walls either, for when you do that you not only trap your own energies, but prevent new energies from reaching out to you.
If you can’t distance yourself from such people and situations, try emotional distancing, by not allowing their words and actions to seep into your being.
And continue being the BeYOUtiful soul that you are.
To quote the famous author Maya Angelou, ‘You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them’
Can I tell you I believe this absolutely and practice perfectly. Almost perfectly.
I try to avoid meeting people that drain me and make me have unpleased thoughts.
Friendships and relationships which are inspiring I cherish.
Love the take on the word BeYouTiful.
Let’s truly not let these people bring us down.
Yes,Amrita. I know you do:) Thank you:)
Rightly said, Sirimiri. I believe in this thought completely. I try creating a shield using Reiki that allows only positive vibes to reach me. It works mostly. But yes, there is a matter of freewill. If we allow ourselves to be treated like shit, no one can help us. We need to love ourselves enough to distance ourselves from such people .
In complete agreement with you, Preethi. I love the idea of using the Reiki shield. Much needed, in todays times. Thank you for stopping by:)
Crucial part – When you find yourself amongst people whom you dislike or find disturbing to be around with, take care to see that you don’t respond in kind. Never lose the inner core of your wonderfulness, no matter how many unpleasant people and situations you may face.
This I feel is very important leads to lot of stress if we could control this part
Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, Manisha:)
Nailed it rightly Mayuri! I dont much et others affect me, I dont know how this has developed but thevariety of people I need to meet everyday have made me almost immune. I just be there at that moment, I always am me only when I am with my family and children, for all others it is what they think and not the real me.
Yes! as you beauty lies within you, what others think or speak of you hardly matters.
Completely agree Mayuri! It is very important to not get affected by what others say or think of you. This is the only way to stay ‘BeYOUtiful’ as u rightly said. 🙂
Loved this Mayuri. How many times we go through situations like this and face this. Will look forward to more
Only when we not let the bad control our minds, we are truly free. Great post, Mayuri.
