Three Great Ways to Deal with Negative People
1 Do not believe everything you hear!
With close friends and family it is not unusual to think that
you ought to take onboard everything you hear. However do not
confuse caring with knowing.
Just because someone is concerned for your welfare does not mean
that their advice or input has value. For example, I know a lot
about peak performance. I do not know much about car maintenance.
If I ever offer you advice on rebuilding a car engine run as
fast as you can! My input would have little or no value.
Likewise with friends and family. They may be negative about
you, your plans and your opinions simply because they lack the
knowledge to think positively about the situation. Their
ignorance causes them to fear for your welfare.
Distinguish between caring and the knowledge to offer worthwhile
input.
