Sunshine People
I’ve noticed throughout my life, and personal experiences that people truly only want to be around you when you are happy, and positive. People tire of you quickly if you’re negative or down, even if it’s not for a very long period of time. I’ve noticed that when I’m happy, people are drawn to me. They want to spend time with me, but if I’m feeling down on myself or complaining, then everyone just sort of scatters. I’ve also learned that no matter how hard I try, it’s just impossible to always be happy. For instance, when a family member or friend dies, then naturally one has to grieve, but most people will only tolerate grief for a very brief time. The same applies to when you’re caring for a sick loved one, having financial problems, etc. People only have tolerance to endure your problems for so long, then they’re done. I, myself have been guilty of not being compassionate enough to people when they are struggling. So, perhaps this is a lesson to myself. I should be more compassionate, and then perhaps I would receive more compassion in return. The people who have the most friends in life, and seem to have the most influence on others are the sunny people. Sunshine naturally draws people. What good does it really do to be down, anyway? Can’t some good be found in every situation in life? Our perception determines our destiny. There are times when you need to just vent though, and be authentic with how you are truly feeling. Those times should be shared amongst those tried, and true friends. The people who really love you will tolerate you in all the seasons of life. Otherwise, just be sunny.
