There are some people that inspire you and then there are others. You notice that I don’t say “Others who bring you down.” The reason is that your response to being in someone’s presence is really up to you.
Even if they are a drag, you don’t have to buy into their negativity. We might have a tendency to say, “They really bummed me out.” It’s true we might have that tendency but it doesn’t have to be that way.
You can notice their energy but you can choose to not react to it. On the other hand you can allow yourself to be inspired in the presence of people who are uplifting. In some ways you are again choosing. You choose to let go of your judgments and enjoy the moment. You choose to follow your heart rather than your head.
There are more of us around. When we keep our eyes and lead with a smile rather than a scowl, doors open. There is more connection and we feel fulfilled. That’s the way it was for me when I met Pamela at the coffee shop.
