I feel like in my life I am or have been surrounded my many negative/hypocrytical people. It rubs off on me. One of my really good friends is a negative person. Im just now realizing this. She is a really nice person, at heart. I know this because I have known her for several years…but she always has something negative to say or someone to talk about! I don’t want to be like that. I would not appreciate someone picking apart my every flaw, so what would make it okay for me to do it to someone else? I understand that everyone is different and we all have had differing experiences in life, so i have accept her for her. I think I am going to approach this goal by looking for the good in people, instead of the bad. To think about the positives instead of focusing on the negatives. I think we can learn something from every person that we meet…to take a good quality that they have and define it as a quality that we would like to embrace for ourselves. So instead of focusing on what a negative person she is…I will focus on the fact that I don’t want to be like that…I’ve learned a great lesson from her.
