The title might sound selfish but it’s true. You are the center of your universe. Emphasis on “Your” ☺️.
The question now is: are you going to be passive and let forces and people around you influence and impact you or are you going to be proactive and impact them instead?
Most people do the former because it’s easier to go with the flow. If they are surrounded with positive energies and people then the benefit from that or vice versa, if this round themselves with negativity and people who are always down, then that’s what they absorb.
The alternative to absorption is creation obviously. But as we all know, that is always more difficult to pull off because it requires initial momentum which is hard to conjure up for most of us.
So what are you going to do? Are you going to be creating content, information, and spreading goodness in the world from your core or are you going to let people and circumstance and things that encircle you act upon you and make an impression on you The way they want?
You can be the receiver or the producer.
The choice is yours.
