We all love to be around people who make us feel good. They may make us laugh and not take life too seriously. Their attitude and perspective may encourage us. They make us feel at ease and free to be ourselves. And, we may feel appreciated and loved when we are around them. And this feeling make us come alive and encourage us to be the way we are towards that particular person. It actually make us feel safe and protected with that person. When we think about the people we like to be around, what is it about them that makes us feel good? We may not be able to recall all the things they say or do that we like, but it is a combination of qualities that make us enjoy their presence. More than anything, we remember that being with them is a good experience. They seem to bring out the best in us.
On the other hand, some people make us feel bad. Their negativity is a downer and saps our energy. The way they treat us can make us feel angry, hurt, or disgusted. Their anxiety is unpleasant and contagious. We may feel badly about ourselves when we are around them. Expectations they impose upon us can be burdensome and overbearing. We may feel unable to measure up or to please them. Their words are toxic and destructive if we take them in. Is there any wonder we don’t like to be around them??
People respond to their environment. If it’s pouring rain, we look for cover. If the hot sun is beating on us, we take off our jackets. We like to feel good and safe. It’s the same with relationships. With the good, we feel safe, accepted, and welcome, so we respond positively. With the bad, we are more likely to be on guard, defensive, and uncomfortable. We may not be able to control or predict how others will treat us, but we can choose to be our best in all situations.
In the upstairs to end of our life we tend to meet every kind of person in our life and we deal with them all the time. And these are the same people who thought us what is life, is it good !!! or is it bad !!! we have to live with it...and deal with it with a big big smile on your face..never be disheartened with a person who hurts you all the time....instead just think about those who cant think of living without you...who's presence is everything for you in your life...
and alwys remember, ITS ALL ABOUT THE WAY WE LIVE OUR LYF !!!
