And which ones make you:
- Feel depressed after you’ve seen them?
- Feel angry, dejected, or criticized?
- Squash your ideas and pour cold water on your plans?
- Feel you’re not taken seriously?
- Feel as if you can’t achieve anything?
Hang out with the first group. Cull the second group—unless
they are just having a bad day (and we all have those). Move
on, get it done. Ah, but you’ll say it is cruel to prune friends
ruthlessly like that. Well, I suppose it is, but then I want to
enjoy my friends, not moan about them. If I find myself doing
that, I prune them. No point hanging out with people who
don’t make you feel good—not unless you like being down.
NO POINT HANGING OUT
WITH PEOPLE WHO DON’T
MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD.
