How to Protect Yourself against Negative Influences

To protect yourself against negative influences, whether of your own making, or the result of the activities of negative people around you, recognize that you have a WILL-POWER, and put it into constant use, until it builds a wall of immunity against negative influences in your own mind.

Negative thoughts are like termites that eat at you from within, they have the power to bring you down and really mess up your life.

Recognize the fact that you, and every other human being, are, by nature, lazy, indifferent, and susceptible to all suggestions which harmonize with your weaknesses.

Recognize that you are, by nature, susceptible to all the six basic fears, and set up habits for the purpose of counteracting all these fears. The six basic fears consist of fear of poverty, fear of criticism, fear of ill health, fear of loss of love, fear of old age and the fear of death.

Recognize that negative influences often work on you through your subconscious mind; therefore they are difficult to detect. People around you, including friends and family, can have a positive or negative effect on your life. Keep your mind closed against all people who depress or discourage you in any way, and deliberately seek out the company of people who influence you to think and act for yourself.

Find yourself prominent role models who have achieved success in their field, and use them as an inspiration.

Do not expect troubles as they have a tendency not to disappoint.
The most common human weakness is the habit of leaving their minds open to negative influence of other people. This weakness is all the more damaging, because most people do not recognize that they are cursed by it, and many who acknowledge it, neglect or refuse to correct the evil until it becomes an uncontrollable part of their daily habits.

Positive and negative thoughts cannot occupy the mind at the same time. It is up to you to make sure that every time you have a negative thought you immediately try to replace it with a positive one. The more that you do this the more it will become a habit. Habits are results of actions that you have done repeatedly, so the more you do the above, the more natural they will become. It is said that it takes at least 21 days to break a bad habit, so this will not be something that will happen overnight, it will take perseverance but the results could be life changing.
