Who You Hang around with can be contagious
I would have to give credit to someone else for this blog. It was a conversation I heard about having faith in what ever you do, but- also the people you set your tone with can influence your behavior.
Let me say this very important statment that I do believe in very much we do learn much on our travels, but- if you have come to a place that you keep sticking around in the same crowd or around the same type of people/person and you feel as if they are rubbing off on your behavior..you may want to start to free that space up for something better. God wants you to have faith in all that you do and to hold true to what you know. If it feels ugly..and you feel ugly and it feels as if you are behaving like them..time to cut the chords..
If your hanging around with people that are always negative or are doom and gloom, you very well may find yourself feeding right along with them. You may not be that typr of person but- sometimes other people can influence when they are around us for to long. If you see this in yourself maybe it is time to gently start to evaporate from the relationship. You do not have to just get up or voice your negative or to much for me.
You can be busy when they call or you can just be unavailable when they look to get together. Eventually I think the relationship will diminish without you having to actually say anything. That goes the same for people who have joy in their hearts and can see the best in any situation. They lift your spirit they give you faith that things do work out.
It is those people that may bring you out of the darkness into the light. What a difference they make to you when you spend time around them. That contagious's feeling is uplifting to you. It helps you move forward without a bag of rocks on your back.
What we allow into our space determines alot about us and may make us start making choices to be aware better. If someone makes you feel unhappy every time they are around- You may have to reexamine your relationship with them. Everyone does have funk times where each party is not up, that happens. I am talking about lets say the tv news watching it, with all the sad stories- where there are no happy endings all poverty stricken and we are going down the tubes fast is what we hear.
We have to make a choice to continue listening or do we rab a hold of our faith and start to make a pack that we will hold strong for another tomorrow. That maybe today was not so great but- tomorrow can be built brighter. Faith turns us around. Faith makes us have a clearance for things to take form.
Maybe turn away from one things or someone today that has you feeling uneasy. Maybe start suurrounding yourself with happy and joyous things or people. Because anything can be contagious. If you are going to a reader that has you feeling doom and gloom and has nothing positive to say for you maybe reexamine your relationship.
Maybe a person you are with has you always in a hurt situation and you feel everytime this person is around you feel pain. That becomes contagious as well. Time to put faith up to the plate and make some real choices in your life. Go for the gold (contagious)can be a good thing with the right amount of faith.
