After reading the classic book with it ten by Norman Vincent Peale, "The power of positive thinking", I finally understood why people work hard to control the power of positivity. However, one of the challenges to maintaining positive vibes is the negativity in the world we live in. Social Media, office gossip and the news are not helping matters as everywhere is filled with terrible events and negative people. Regardless of the fact that we live in a negative world, as individuals, we can still develop and have a life of positivity for ourselves. The only stumbling block is spending time away from things and people that matters to you and makes you happy, with things and people that drag you down. Surrounding yourself with things and people that matters to you pays off immediately and down the road.
Here are some amazing things that happens to you when you surround yourself with things and people that matters.
Your attitude changes
Your attitude changes the moment you surround yourself with positive friends. You get excited and you become energized. You experience peace all around you and a boost in your confidence. On the flip side, surrounding yourself with people who drag you down affects your disposition negatively.
You will accomplish more
When you surround yourself with people who encourages you, and not those who drags you down, you tend to accomplish more. Having people around you who encourages you and teaches you that you can achieve whatever you set out to do pushes you do more and accomplish more.
You will live longer
This is the important one. Surrounding yourself with things that matter to you and positive will rub off on you, hence, you will love longer. A study conducted by Dr.David R. Hamilton showed that people who surround themselves with positivity lives seven years longer than the negative ones. People who surrounds themselves with things that matter have few chronic health problem. Bear in mind that positivity affects your life and how long you live.
You Will Make More Money
This is a practical effect of surrounding yourself with things that matter. You will make more money! It's an established fact that surrounding yourself with things that matter will make you positive. The Wall Street Journal once stated that positive people do not make average money, they make more money than people who surrounds themselves with things that drag them down.

You will become a magnet for success
Spending time with things and people that matters encourages you and make you positive. The effect is attracting more people to you, that is, people want to relate with you. When people notice how enthusiastic and excited you are about your work, they will have interest in your vision. Your positivity becomes a magnet that attracts success.
