Stay Curious!

A great quote everyone should have taped to their bathroom mirror so they see it every morning is "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." Albert Einstein said that and it is very true.

It is very important that you never allow yourself to become complacent or apathetic. Stay inspired and stay curious. Make it a point to find at least one interesting thing every day. When you stop noticing your surroundings is when negative people and situations can creep up on you. Darkness is always drawn to light, remember that. When you have an inner light, people of all walks will be drawn to you and if you allow negative people to feed off your positivity, you can wind up feeling indifferent or uninterested in life.

If you feel someone is making you feel that way or is creating a situation that is making you feel overwhelmed and dispassionate about your job, your relationship or your life, that is the time to get curious and ask yourself some hard-hitting questions: Why is this person doing that? What can they gain from creating negativity and misery for you? And the last question is the most important - Why are you allowing someone else to control your emotions or personal well being?

The other part of having a light of positivity within you is that light can defeat darkness. It is drawn to the light but cannot exist within it. No matter what someone else sets up to throw a roadblock in your way - don't allow yourself to be ruffled or sucked into any kind of drama - just change roads!

You will always find people who enjoy creating drama and negativity will cease to be around you and you will be a stronger person for having gotten above and past it.
