Watch Your Space

 WATCH YOUR SPACE!


There’s a reason why people say “Choose your friends wisely” and “Show me your friends and I’ll tell you who you are”.


 The people you’re around the most, be it friends, family, even colleagues, can have a massive effect on you and your vibrations/mentality. No matter how positive, spiritual, or goal-driven you are, if you hang around people who are the opposite, they may not completely cancel that out (depending on how stubborn you are about those things), but you won’t really thrive in that environment. 


Someone who’s full of positivity and someone who’s full of negativity can’t really reside in the same place as they are. One will definitely become either more positive, or more negative. And when it’s your group of friends or family etc. that are mostly negative, it’ll be close to impossible to stay as positive as you are because of that friction.


They may not be aware that they’re doing that, but because of their low vibrations and all, they’ll do anything to bring your vibrations down to match theirs. They could do things like say you’re goals are unrealistic and impossible to reach, start to exclude you from the social circle, giving you the cold shoulder or even being nasty to you, even going as far as gossiping about you behind your back, unless you go down to their level etc. 


But please, don’t think that you need to stay around people like that just because they were always there for you and you don’t think you can survive without them and all.  


I promise you, when you stop hanging around negative people, your quality of living will see massive improvement

Sri Sri on Arrogance


 Never in your life have the arrogance to say that you have achieved big heights. If you have achieved something it is the divine will, it is the divine intervention that has always protected you, cleared your path and given you the right opportunities at the right time.

Share your joy

SHARE YOUR JOY

By sharing your misery, it doesn't reduce. By not sharing your joy, it reduces. Share your problems only with the Divine, not with Tom, Dick, or Harry -- that just increases the problem. Share your joy with everybody.

Darren: How do you help people who share their misery with you?

Guruji: I have a thousand and one ways. Often it happens that when they share their problem with me, it is immediately resolved. Other times it requires some patience. Just know that all will be taken care of.

Mary: How do we help people who share their misery with us?

Guruji: Listen to others, yet don't listen. Because if your mind gets stuck there, not only are they miserable, you also get miserable.
