The Power of Free Will

There comes a point in life where you look at where you are, how far you have come, what you have gained and where you are going. When I do this I always like to look at what the changes were that I made which helped me accomplish what I have so far in life and in doing so I realise that most of those changes were who I allowed into my life and let go of.

Most of us understand the concept of staying positive in order to accumulate more positivity and to live a happy life. The Law of Attraction. What you put in you’ll get out. Reap what you sow etc. etc. – A lot of the time though we don’t realise that in order to do so we need to be aware of the toxic people in our lives.

It takes deep self-honesty to do so because a lot of the time it is hard to admit you have made a wrong decision in befriending someone who is actually toxic to your life or you might be under the impression that you love this person. Ultimately the choice will have to be made as to whether you choose to keep living this way with these people in your life – or you have to break free and live the life you were born to pursue – a happy positive and abundant one.

A quote from Brian Carruthers – “You are, or will become, the average of the five people you associate with the most.”

I like to think of my home and space as an area of positivity – a place where my family and I feel safe and secure. Together as positive separate units we make one big happy ball of positivity. This makes me feel like together we are more powerful in attracting abundance and even more happiness. I like to visualise it in my mind as a yellow giggly happy ball of family squishiness and love. Of course everyone has their ups and downs. Of course we are allowed to cry and vent if we need to. When it is over it is gone though and we try to move on from it. It is very important to feel every emotion you experience so you can understand it and learn how to deal with it. This is why, when I allow someone into our space, I am very careful and cautious about who they are because negative people don’t just affect your vibrations but they affect the energy around them and everyone else around them. I know of a few people who I would never allow into my space because it would feel like I am compromising the positive vibes our unit has already created.

Negative people are noticeably pessimistic and will exhaust you. Damaging energy and drama follow them everywhere and they can pull you into their chaos disrupting your focus and side-lining your goals. Negative people can sometimes behave irrationally and you will waste your time and energy if you try to make sense of their actions. I don’t think it is possible to continually live with someone like this in your life without either falling into the same pattern they follow or becoming completely drained from either trying to shield yourself from them or by trying to help them/listen to them.

You might think that when you are “detoxing” your life from these toxic people that you might start feeling lonely but in the long run it is better to have a few good friends than a whole bunch of negative destructive ones. Slowing start building new positive friendships. In the end every time you subtract negativity from your life you make room for more positive.

You might also think that the amount of drama it will cause in trying to get rid of them is not worth it in the end but maybe just by remaining positive and limiting your time with negative people they will eliminate themselves from your life without you having to do anything. Or seeing as though we are trying to be more positive here you might even turn them into positive thinkers! You will have to realise though that if someone is not on the same vibrational level as you and they can’t lift themselves up to your level that your paths will inevitably split. From my own experience leaving it to that point is even more draining.

Ultimately what matters is that you are living the best life that you can. You cannot live a fulfilled life when other people are dragging you down in whatever negative way that they do it. You have free will – don’t forget that. Free will means you ultimately determine what you believe. Freedom is the ability to say yes or no. Free will is the ability to do so. Free will is the exercise of freedom, the ability to choose between alternatives. We have a choice. This means you don’t need to let people affect you negatively, you don’t need to allow negative people into your life. The decision is yours. Know your worth.

“Every day you must unlearn the ways that hold you back. You must rid yourself of negatively, so you can learn to fly.” – Leon Brown
