Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I choose my friends carefully, looking for positive minded, enthusiasm, and genuine love.

The following is taken from the book, Karma, Destiny, and Your Career:

If you have negative friends you really love and don't want to lose, then simply see less of them for the time being. Remember to first talk to people and explain how you feel. Only if there is no understanding should you break off a relationship.

Never be afraid to cut off a relationship -- no matter how old it is -- if the friend is demanding, negative, or sarcastic about what you're doing. This kind of person will probably always stay this way, no matter what is happening. Let go. If you do, your friend may realize how such behavior is affecting you and make amends.

Choose your friends carefully, looking for positive minded, enthusiasm, and genuine love.

Today's Focus was inspired by the InnerSelf.com article:

Friends: Who Will Help You... and Who Will Not?
Written by Nanette V. Hucknall
