Surrounding Yourself With Positive People
Making Your Life Worth Living
How many times in a day have you encountered negative, nasty people, that totally drain you and your life? They are constant complainers about life, their health, money, and all the turmoil they live in.
Sometimes we all encounter these people, however you have to seperate yourself from them and be determined that they won't ruin your day.
In this life you should surround yourself with happy people who are positive and love themselves and life. In order to have happiness in your life you have to have loving people on your side. As long as you keep hanging out with negative people, you will be negative also.
We all know that you must love yourself in order to love others better, but you also have to surround yourself with love to enjoy life.
Some people will say I only need my dog to make me happy but I can't imagine life without my family and few friends.
If you are one of those negative people who complain constantly about your health, money, life, your agony, then you need to do something about it or get help. No one wants to spend the day with a downer every single day of their life.
We all have bad days and bad times in our life, but if every day for you is bad and you can't find one ounce of happiness in your life then you may be depressed or suffering from something and should get checked out. No one should be unhappy every single day.
Surround yourself with love and positive thoughts even if your not having the best time in your life. Life is only what you make it and if you don't try to make it happy then you will spend it being miserable.
We can't always get rid of people who are unhappy in our lives such as our co-workers or bosses but you can try to turn their frown upside down by showing them love.
Don't worry be happy!

Sometimes negative people just need someone to lean on or there are those who are just plain kill joys.
You don't have to put up with it. Especially in the work place. If it is offensive what they are doing simply tell them you don't like it. There will always be people who will complain every single day and then want to reprimand you if you complain.

Helping the Unhappy
When water is dripping through the downstairs ceiling in your house, you must find the leak to fix it. When your car makes a disconcerting noise every time you drive, you must learn what’s causing it and when someone doesn't feel as happy as you’d like them to be or they don’t live up to the image of the person you’d like them to be, you must learn more about what in them is causing this problem.
Is it you? Is it their home life? Do they just love to complain? Too often, people lose an awareness of themselves as they become mired in their particular issue, such as depression, anxiety, lack of assertiveness, relationship struggles, or failures in their work.
People often act from their emotions without giving much thought to them. Instead, make an effort to consciously label your feelings and rate their intensity (e.g. mild, moderate, strong, overwhelming). Note how these emotions affect your judgments about yourself or others. For instance, you might notice that you are eating in response to anger about a situation and that you are also harshly judging yourself in response to that same anger. With time and practice, such observations will offer you insights, such as the recognition that your way of expressing anger is hurting you while not fixing the situation. Such insights can open the door to change.
