Have you ever had friends who always seem to drain your energy?

You try to always be there for them but will always end up feeling empty in the end. Tolerating negative people around you can be harmful to your health and mental state. Separating yourself from negative people can be one of the most liberating things. When you separate yourself from people who do not feed into your happiness you will be able to discern what God really desires for you by being comfortable with losing friends, learning to grow and putting positivity back into your life.

It can be a very hard task to let go of people who do not serve your life in a positive way. It can be an even harder task to keep someone in your life who drains you.

Friendships should not be all take and no give. It should be a balance of the two. If someone is not pulling their weight of the friendship then it may be time to let them go. There is a difference between a friend who direly needs help or advice. Of course naturally, you would want to help them. It becomes draining when that person refuses to help themselves whether it be through following the advice you give them or actually fighting to get out of their situations. Losing negative people from your life can be a blessing because it means that God is protecting you because the relationship was not beneficial to you. Negative people are people who are content with living in their dark places and they will surely pull you there with them.

Through losing friends who do not serve you in a positive way you will grow in several different ways.

Sometimes negativity can block you from seeing the reality and the whole truth. After losing poor friendships you will begin to see how much you have done for them. Let that not discourage you from doing good for others. Who knows that even in due time they may see your acts of kindness. Let's not get confused. Cutting off toxic people is not an out from our duties as Christians. No, it is a liberation so that we will be able to touch many more lives without feeling deprived ourselves. You will learn to grow by experiencing new friendships and experiencing the balance of a true friendship.

Through letting go of negative people positivity will pour back into your life. As you surround yourself with people who think in mind like you and are feeding you with positivity. You will see how much easier it is to be able to do your daily activities and breathe without the negativity. It is important to take care of yourself and your body. If you do not take care of yourself then you won't have anything to give. It's easy to lift someone up by words of kindness but the ultimate way to lift someone up is by your way of life. It's easy to speak positivity but to live it is an entirely different thing. The perfect example is how we live our lives.

A lot of amazing things can happen when you cut negative people out of your life. You will be able to help others more effectively. You will be able to take care of yourself and open doors in your life that would have stayed shut if you would have done otherwise.

Cape Cod Irish
