If you have personal experience of dealing with someone in your life who is consistently negative, then you know the power that person can have over your life. Just as being around positive people can enhance your life and increase your odds of success, being surrounded by negative people can pull you down and keep you from achieving your goals.
But life is not always simple, and we can’t always change the people we are around. We certainly can’t change negative people into positive people overnight.
If only it were that easy.
Negativity in whatever form always brings harmful results, whether in in business, in relationships, in finances, or in our personal lives. While sometimes the only solution is to get out of the situation, many times we don’t have that option.
