Three Types of People To Watch Out For

As I've mentioned in previous articles, your time is precious, and to spend it with a contemptuous and cynical individual is ill advised. Now I'm going to outline three philosophies that have only harmed humanity and if you're familiar with someone who seems to share a similar ideology as the one described, then you might want to reconsider that relationship...

Hedonists - Hedonism was the dominate philosophy in Ancient Rome, and arguably lead it to its demise. In hedonism, pleasure reigns supreme. These types of people seek out superficial pleasures without giving much thought to the negative effects their actions could potentially cause. The creed of hedonism is "If it feels good, do it!"... This philosophy has been known to produce gluttonous and lustful individuals who consequently have very little determination. Although these people may seem "fun and amusing" at first, you'll soon realize that they won't do you any favors in the long run.

Individualists - An individualist, when faced with a pressing decision will initially think "what can I get out of this?" Individualism is essentially a selfish philosophy that puts the main concern on "you and only you". Individualism severs the community as a whole; these types of people will harm the community in order to advance themselves. This philosophy is a bit less evident but just as dangerous as the others. It may take you awhile to spot an individualist out but once you do you can either keep your distance or attempt to alter his or her philosophy. Individualists mindset can be changed however, individualism has proven to be the easiest dogma to alter. A simple wakeup call and some words of wisdom should do the trick.

Minimalists - Minimalism is the rival of greatness and the founder of mediocrity. This philosophy is pretty self-explanatory, "What is the least I can do?" The minimalists want to reap all the rewards while giving none of the effort. "How can I put forth no effort, but still accomplish everything I want to?" If you spend too much time with these types of people you'll subconsciously inherit their slothful nature. One thing I have come to realize is that working hard is extremely contagious chose to spend your time with hardworking individuals and the first change you'll notice is your work ethic. Unfortunately this theory works both ways, spend too much time with a lethargic person and you'll be at risk for developing a similar work ethic.

When A Crisis Strikes - People Helping People

Many times we tend to focus on the differences between us and that causes all sorts of problems. If we focused on how much we have in common, it would be easier to understand each other and have compassion.

The Dalai Lama said it so well when he stated we are humans sharing an experience on this planet. We all have problems in our lives. We all have 24 hours in a day. We all can smile, laugh, cry, and get hurt. It's all a part of this experience and that's what makes us human.

Help Others

When you are going through a tough time, it can be easy to feel sorry for yourself. Feeling like a victim is one of the worst ways to react because it will keep you feeling powerless. The best way out of that sand trap is to help others. When you can do something nice for someone else, you are creating good energy and will bring good things into your life.

EVERYONE goes through difficult times and if you can help someone else, it will make you feel good about yourself. When you help others, you will often realize that someone else has it harder than you. Realizing this helps you reach a place of gratitude and that will raise your energy vibration.

The Law of Giving is one of the foundational Universal laws that states what you give you will receive. My husband Sergio often says "sharing is having more." The best way to improve your life, to grow your business, to find the love of your life, to feel good about yourself... is to give. There is a part of giving that a lot of people overlook though. And that is receiving.

Allow People to Help You

Just as important helping others is, allowing others to help you is equally as important.

In any crisis, it is essential to have a support network of people who love you and can be there for you as you need them. Whether friends, family, counselors, spiritual advisors, mentors, support groups or anyone new the Universe may bring into your life to help you through a tough time, learn to rely on others and accept their help.

We are not meant to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders by ourselves. Just having someone you can talk to, someone who will listen to YOU, will give you a feeling of not being alone and give you someone to lean on. We are social beings and need people to love and care for each other.

It can be hard to accept help at times but I believe it is essential for our own well being to get the support and help we need. The Law of Giving is cyclical and the other half of that cycle is receiving. So be open to receiving the help, the support, the friendship, and the gifts that are waiting for you when you allow them to come into your life and accept them gracefully.

It is our nature to want to love and be loved-not just romantically, but as a species. The more we accept this and embrace it, the easier it will be for us to get through those difficult times. We are stronger when we support each other. And when we are helping others, or allowing others to help us, it cushions those rough bumps in the road.
