ITL161: When to Eliminate the Negative People from Your Life

Listen Later

On this week’s episode, I discuss when to eliminate negative people from your life.

 

We hear that we need to eliminate negative people from our lives.

  • Yet, if we know that we are consistently negative, we certainly hope everybody is not eliminating us.

    •  

    What if Jones eliminated negative people from his life?

    • He would have certainly eliminated me.
    • But Jones didn’t have to consider dropping me from his life.
    • He had moved so far beyond where I was that I had no influence on him at all.
    • His challenge with me was figuring out how to say things to me so that I could understand them and so they would resonate with me.

      •  

      When I was living under the pier, I really needed to eliminate the negative influences in my life.

      • I had to determine which people always acted negatively.
      • If they were both looking and thinking, I could be friends with those people safely.
      • There are people at a very high level of success, and I’m looking to spend more time with them and watch them carefully.
      • There are also some people who are just beginning that journey. Those people would not affect me in a negative way, and maybe I could be a Jones to them.
