Today I want to share with you an eye opening story about a young man and his mentor.
It is a story about not letting anything anyone says, or does get to you. Including family or friends.It’s about not allowing negativity inside. Not allowing opinions to dictate your wellbeing.
It’s about taking responsibility for your own feelings, no matter what anyone else thinks or says ABOUT YOU.So the story tells us, that there was this young man, who was living with his family because he didn’t yet have the means to move out.
The young man would visit with a mentor once a week, and every time, he would complain about his family, saying how negative they were, how they always pushed him to do things that he did not enjoy, while never supporting him in doing the things he actually did enjoy doing.
He said his family were “dragging him down”
The mentor responded:“But are they really dragging you down?… or are you allowing whatever is being said to you or about you, to drag you down?”“Are they really dragging you down? Or are you allowing whatever YOU THINK they are thinking of you to drag you down?”
Not truly understanding, and growing angry at the mentor, the young man responded:
“No, they ARE dragging me down. Their negativity drags me down every day. I can’t make up how I feel. They are doing this to me.”
