Don’t Let Others Discourage You- Tracey  Winu Landu (07/02/2014)

I came across an image on Twitter which had the caption "Don’t publicise your work, money, relationships until its certified, you never know who is waiting on your downfall" , and came to the conclusion that this is particularly true. Not only from our 'haters' or 'enemies' but our own friends. You would be surprised that most people who ‘hate’ on you do so secretly whilst trying to pretend they’re happy for you. You will notice they are the ones who do not congratulate immediately you when you achieve, do not share your happiness when you succeed and are silent in your triumph. Lately, I have spotted people like this in my own life but to be honest I am not surprised. Jealousy comes in all forms, styles and people and if you have not yet realised that then now you know. To be honest, it is time that you focus on doing the best for you! I am sure you've got plans, goals, new years resolutions you want to achieve! Isn't that right? Well, 2014 is not the year to entertain negativity in your life. Leave that all in the past and recognise that it is your life you are living. Only you know the pain and struggle you have been through and you don't need extra baggage from those that are going to bring you down and hinder you from success.

Let's face it, life moves on and our 'friends' will not always be at our sides. The only reason we only hold on to toxins in our lives because that is all we are used to. But when you slowly distance yourself from all the things that have a negative impact on your thoughts and cause you to doubt you will feel much better. Although, at the beginning letting go may feel foreign to you, in the end you will gain something much better than you have lost.
