I would cut all the negative people out of my life who don’t inspire or push me towards my goals, but that’s not the lesson I learned when I studied the life of Jesus. Instead I’ve decided to strive to cut all the negativity out of me in hopes that my life will set an example that will help the negative people in my life strive to be and do better.

Isn’t it possible that God put them in my life to be inspired? Isn’t it possible that my role in some relationships is to give? Isn’t it possible that at one point in my life I was the negative uninspiring person in someone else’s life who needed help finding my way?

I believe the answer is yes.
