Have you ever noticed if people around you are in a bad mood, you are in a bad mood? We all have days where we feel like we aren’t getting what we want, and others aren’t treating us the way we want, and that’s because we aren’t giving those things to others. In order to RECEIVE in life, you have to GIVE first. As humans, it is incredibly easy to pick up on the energy around us whether it is positive or negative.
What energy do you give off? Do you take responsibility for others' emotions, even for a moment, to try and figure out why they are acting the way they are acting? Remember, you generate your own world. If your world sucks right now, you are making it suck. Turn. It. Around! Everything you want in life can be yours if you ask for it.
