No fear, no judgement, just respectful honesty.
 
Listen, so I’m working right!?!  Minding my own business when Negative Nancy comes strolling in the door, and by the look on her face, my happy existence is about to come CRASHING DOWN!  She’s notorious for spreading gossip, killing dreams, and otherwise single handedly destroying people vibes!

Needless to say I prayed that she would just go away!  **DON’T JUDGE ME, LOL** Unfortunately, I had to bear my cross from time to time and listen to what she had to say.  In the middle of her conversation it dawned on me.  She only kills what I allow her to kill.  She could come in here day in and day out and I could ignore every nasty, negative, destructive word that comes out of her mouth.  I’m letting her kill my V.I.B.E.  As I sit and really analyze what she says, I’m coming to understand she’s not happy about her life.  How many times do we throw the light of condemnation and negativity onto others because we can’t handle the flaws in our own life?  Better they be in the spotlight, right?  And even more so, how many times do we allow others negativity to skew our view of our own dreams? 

Now Nancy has me taking stock of my life.  With all of the wonderful and trying things going on in my life, why am I so susceptible to her commentary?  Sometimes we listen and conform to the thoughts, opinions, and fears of others while hashing out our own dreams.  In the case that we have a slight question of if we should be pursuing that particular dream, Negative Nancy finds an opening to the most wonderful playground EVER!  In other cases, she speaks death in the places that we are absolutely confidence!  We can walk into a room so sure in what we started pursuing, and by the time the conversation is over we are walking around scared and second guessing the very thing we know we are purposed to do! 

So to Nancy, and all the others like her in the world, I say… DON’T KILL MY V.I.B.E.!  Now you may ask “what exactly is your V.I.B.E.?”  Well I’ll be happy to elaborate.   I’m a Vibrant and Intellectual young woman that is beyond Blessed to have the Existence that I am currently enjoying!  I’ve not reached every goal that I’m going after, but I’m working towards them!  As I am, so are you!  You have too much life and knowledge to allow someone the opportunity to make you question yourself!  You are blessed and are here on this earth to effect change!  So what are you waiting on!?! Stop allowing the Negative Nancy’s of the world to throw dirt on your dream, or shade your sun!  You’ve got too much to achieve to allow the simple words of another person to drag your dream into the ground.  Stand up, dust the dirt off yourself and your dream, and get moving!  Someone is waiting on you to be an example.  Another person is waiting on your dream to help them achieve their dreams.

The next time you run in to Negative Nancy, hug her/him, find the silver lining in the situation, and keep pushing through with the positive V.I.B.E. you walked in with!  And if that doesn't work blow them a kiss and scream "Don't Kill My V.I.B.E.!"
