The Journey To Joy: Resolutions

My resolutions for 2014 was to keep toxic people out of my circle, make mine and my family's happiness #1 priority and ignore the pointless bullshit others try to heave in my direction.  Not only was I successful, but I learned something quite useful:

When you ignore the narcissistic, abusive moron they lose their damn mind and others see it.

That's right, folks!  All it takes to put someone in their place is silence.  It's easy to do, keeps you from losing your balance and blocks unnecessary drama at the same time.  I cannot stress how important doing this is to survive in the world.

In case you were wondering, here are the most common types of individuals you should be ignoring and/or cutting out of your life this new year:

* The narcissist
* The unhealthy competitor
* The chronic complainer
* The meany
* The blame game bitch
* The controlling, manipulative douche
* Anyone who treats you and/or others like shit

It's simple really.  Just don't allow these people into your life and you'll attract those who belong in it.  Don't be afraid to LET GO of people/things that don't serve your highest good.  Don't allow other people to treat you and those you love like shit.  Don't give in just because you're biologically related to these idiots.  Stop giving 10th chances to people who have proven to be dishonest, disloyal and cruel.

Stand up for yourself and those who deserve your love and respect.  Sure this attitude may strip you of a super huge entourage, but having a group of "admirers" doesn't mean you're truly loved.    The only thing important in this life is to love and be loved (the right way) in return.

My advice to those who are trying this new way of ignoring the BS:

Don't allow your personal information to get out.

This means you don't post your private stuff on social media sites, blogs, etc, unless you're an attention whore and don't care about the consequences.  In that case you'll deserve what's coming to you.  Don't tell anyone who could possibly leak the information to the "wrong" person.

Are you reading this and realizing you are actually someone to be ignored?  Okay, so check this out.

Quit being an obsessive, narcissistic, stalking, bitchy, manipulative, controlling jerk who thinks the world revolves around your needs.  Mind your own damn business.  Keep your word.  If you stop, people will like you.

For the rest of us, the new year often brings an element of hope for change.  Remember that we are responsible for our own happiness, nobody else.  We can only control how we feel, act and how we contribute to the outcome of each situation we're involved in.  We also choose our family, friends and acquaintances.  I think we should keep it simple this year and only have one resolution...to be happy.
