Motivational Thoughts » Articles » Haitian Motivation Time To Change Your Environment
by SP, Woodring I was reading an article today about negative people. The article says that “negative people are like human black holes which comes out of nowhere and just sucks the life of you”. Are you surrounded by negative people? Most of us are surrounded by people who have absolutely nothing positive to say, our families and our friends; they all seem to think that the world is coming to an end. Most of us surrounded by people who think it is their destiny to be poor, broke, and miserable all the time. When I was a kid I used to hear this song at my mother’s church in Haiti: Seyè mwen piti malere
Seyè mwen piti malere
Tan pou-m ta rich sou tè-a
Pou-m pa eritye syèl la
Seyè mwen pito malere Translation: Lord I’d rather be poor and go to heaven then to be rich and go to hell. I understand now why they were singing that song, 95% of the people in that church were poor and the other 5% were barely surviving. I never heard that song or anything close to it at my uncle’s church in Port-au-Prince. The people at my uncle’s church were further up the success ladder. If you are surrounded by negative people then it is time to change your environment. I have many friends; I am surrounded by many positive people. Some of them I don’t even know but they talk to me all the time and they constantly tell me “I can”. In my early twenties, I joined a network marketing company. During my first meeting I was told not to tell my family and friends about the business opportunity. I made a mistake, I told them. Do you know what they said to me? “Woody, these people are brainwashing you!” Thank God they did; it’s been 12 years and I still listen to my Amway tapes. How do you think I met Zig Ziglar and Les Brown. I’ve never seen them in person but they talk to me all the time. How do you think I got my hands on the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”? My up line handed it to me the first day we met. If you want to change some things in your life, then you have to change some things in your life. Change your environment, build a wall in your mind and keep the negative people out. I once heard these words uttered in one of my “Brain Washing” meetings: “if your next-door neighbor knew how to be rich he would not be your next-door neighbor.” Where do you want to go in life? How successful do you to be? Are you surrounded by people who are where you want to be in life? If not, perhaps it is time to change your environment. “Misery loves company” I heard that too. If you surround yourself with miserable people your life will be miserable as well. Meet one of my friends, his name is David J. Schwartz. He wants to talk to you; he really wants to be your friends too. Would you like to meet him? Meet him today. Go to your local bookstore and grab a copy of “The Magic Of Thinking Big”, he wrote it. Do yourself a favor, grab the CD version, pop the CD in your car and listen to it when you are alone, commuting to work. He will brainwash you, that David, yes he will, and you will love him for it.
