There
is an old saying, which the majority of us have heard: “You are known by the
company you keep.”
Although
most people like to disregard this old-fashioned remark, there is a lot of
truth behind the saying.
Chances
are likely that you and your friends are much alike. You probably share some of
the same interests and have the same general outlook on life.
You
likely also act very much the same, whether in a private or public setting.
If
you think about the people in your life, you will see that this is true. You
may be wondering why.
The
Law
of Attraction explains this question for us. Like energies attract one
another.
If
you are a certain way, you are going to attract other people who behave
similarly to you. This would explain why it seems people run in crowds of like-minded
people. While this can be a great thing, it can also create conflict.
Being
known by the company you keep can be a great thing if you are a positive
individual who works hard at bettering yourself and generally behaves well in
society. With this being the case, you will attract other positive individuals
who also work hard and behave themselves in a positive manner. People will look
upon you in a positive way and good things will come your way.
On
the opposite side of the spectrum, this can create negativity for you. If
you are a negative person who believes they will never receive anything of
worth in their lives (because the world is against them), you will be
associated with those same type people. Instead of increasing your positive
energy, your friends will be increasing your negative energy. People will look
upon you in a negative way and nothing you want will come your way.
However,
our energy is not set in stone. If you take a look around you and notice only
negative people, you need to take a better look at the energy you are
personally producing.
