A lot of people say a lot of things. Some of the things that they’re saying aren’t worth listening too. Some words that others say are only meant to stop, block, and bring negativity into your life. People are always talking, and you have the decision to entertain what they’re saying or not. The older I become, I pay close attention to others and the things that they’re putting in my ear. I don’t need others to continually be gossiping around me, talking negative, or leading me to do sinful actions.
People are constantly gossiping. At first, I was listening and adding to all the gossip, but then I had to check myself. How is gossiping about others benefiting my life or helping the lives of others? Be careful around others who are continually gossiping about other people, because they are probably talking about you as well when you’re not around. Also, if others admire you or look up to you, don’t ruin your character by always gossiping. It’s time to walk the other way, hang up the phone, or currently avoid those who want to feel your ear up with gossip.
Tell me something good! Being around people who are continually talking negative about themselves, situations, or others can start to feel like a burden. One thing I don’t like to be around is someone who is always complaining. Complaining can only take you so far, but actions to make something better will push you forward and not keep you stuck. Next time someone puts something negative in your ear, I dare you to look at them and flip their negative into something positive.
Beware of those who are trying to push you back when they can see blessings are following you as you move forward. In other words, I no longer do all the things that I use to do! I don’t know about you, but while I’m young, I have others always in my ear telling me what I should be doing, who I should be dating, and places I should be going. I’ve had women tell me I should be dating around and playing the field, clubbing every weekend, and in their definition “living my best life.” But, I have my own meaning of living my best life, and so should you.
Living my best life is taking trips, meeting goals, hanging with others who are growing with me, or helping me be better. Also, not allowing everyone to get in my business. There is power in blocking out specific conversations and people who are struggling themselves. Those people struggling sometimes crave for others to struggle with them. Be careful of wolves in sheep clothing, and don’t stop being you to please other people. If the Holy Spirit warns you, listen. I let God fill my ear up because I know he won’t lead me into the wrong places or holding conversations with the wrong people.
