Five Types of people (characters) you should stay away from.
The environment we live in has a great impact on our lifes more than any other factor individually. And humans constitute the highest percentage of our environment.
Our life’s outcome is much more  depended on us, but to a greater extend, on the people we live or associate with, and those we talk to or emulate.
This is personal topic because most of us have at least one of these character traits in us. These character(s) affect lives, hopes, dreams, finances, relationships etc.
Whether these characters are in us or others, we need to be careful sharing with these charaters certain things in life. Am not saying don’t talk to them, but how much and when you should talk to them matters.
1- Negative People
Or call it pessimists, these people have all the wrong reasons why something won’t work. They will put you down without giving it a second thought, because they only see things from ‘it won’t work’ side of the coin.
These kind of people have killed more dreams, hopes, opportunities than any one factor out there. Be careful when you open up or listen to them. Be more careful when that person is you!
2- People who complain alot.
Well there are alot of misfortunes or what some people call bad lucks. They happen to all of us at some point in life.
But there are some people who own these bad lucks. They go on complaining all day to anyone who cares to listen of how things are not working.
They complain about their origin, background, government, job, how everything they touch never works, how some relative did this to them.
The part that they don’t talk about is what they are doing about all these and in most cases they are doing nothing. Stay away from them before they transmit that bad habit to you.
3- People who dont add value to your life or to their lives.
Yes its true everyone we meet has something to teach us, but what kind of lesson? For how long?
There are people who have never come up to you with positive ideas, suggestion or advise. They are just there. Well these people might just not be adding value to your life that would’ve changed you to a better person. Or the value they add is not worth it.
How do you spot this kind of person? Look at their lives if there’s positive changes happening. Even if it’s not happening, are they trying? Are they asking around for help to better themselves?
4- People without targets (goals)
Some people live by the day, they wake up because other people woke up, go to work because they have to buy food, pay bills, rent etc, they are busy all day and go back to sleep because its night.
The next day, month and year they keep doing the same thing and they are OK with it. Or call them people who move in a closed circle.
We all need to have goals (targets) that will wake us up, make us work hard and sacrifice so as to achieve them.
5- People who talk too much.
These ones are very dangerous. Because they take one of your most valuable asset, TIME!
They know everything from politics, football, music, celebrities lifestyles, to China, North Korea, nuclear weapons, Trump etc. They can talk for hours and hours about these topics.
These kind of people in most cases are liers, and the topics they talk about are not life changing ones. Pass by them unless you have no important things to do!
These people or characters are around us everyday, some are our close friends, relatives or spouses. Sometimes we are these people ourselves. We can not avoid them.
But we can control how they’ll influence our lives by deciding how often we interract with them.
Its time to make positive and meaningful relationships ones that will elevate and motivate us, guide and support us in our lives, goals and careers.
