Gossiping is a poor way to spend your #time and energy. Although time is an illusion it is not guaranteed. What is the purpose of speaking negatively about another (even if a celebrity)? What do you get out of it? Does it make you feel better? If yes, how does demeaning, making fun of, criticizing or judging another improve your mood? If you do not like someone (for whatever reason) why spend time talking about or judging them? All the time you spend focused on another could be spent improving, investing in your dreams, and/or perfecting/improving your life. Generally, we spend:
5-8 hours spent sleeping
8-10 hours working
6 hours remain
What are you doing with your time? My preference is to spend as much time as possible engaged in activities, interactions and conversations that increase and elevate my energy and light. I prefer to use my energy to…
Create instead of criticize, condemn, convince or convert anyone about anything
Dance instead of distance others
Use these lips to kiss and speak love and light instead of gossip and verbally harm
Listen to others share their dreams, accomplishments and goals instead of their toxins
To hold hands instead of grudges
Although these are my preferences it does not mean everyone can accompany me on my journey. There are some people who are not ‘bad’ but where they are on their journey or the way they CHOOSE to interface with me, others and/or life is not aligned with my highest good. There is no animosity towards these individuals, no hate or even dislike; instead I CHOOSE to spend my time and energy elsewhere. Your time and energy is your most valuable commodity, invest it wisely. Remember, those to gossip to you are DEFINITELY gossiping about you. Gossiping is a characteristic, it is not person specific; however, it is direct insight into their insecurity and unhappiness.
A happy person who is fully immersed in creating and living their best life, does not have the energy or desire to harm or bring down another. Happy people know harming another on any level directly impacts their energy on all levels and they do not give anyone that type of #power. – Misha N. Granado, MPH, MS
