Have the wisdom and bravery to start removing and releasing the people in your life who are bringing you down. And then I always get this message a lot or this question a lot, “Well, what if it’s my mother? What if it’s my best friend?” I’d simply say to you, “People come into our lives for reasons, seasons, or lifetimes.” And one of the ways you can tell a victim in action is they give away their power to other people. You have a lot more power than you may be exercising an awareness, and you have the power to let go of people, even if it’s a family member, or you could say it’s going to be selective association.”Rather than talking to them every day, I’m going to speak with them once a week or see them once a month.” Or you can never see them again, you can see them less often, it might be in between, but you have the power to do what feels right to you. The larger point is simply this. The first thing I wish I’d learned when I was 20 is you can be around energy vampires or you can change the world. You don’t get to do both.
