A lot of people secretly think their life would be boring without drama. So even though they say they hate it, they subconsciously create, attract and feed it.
What if you had nothing or no one to bitch at or about? No one to look down on or make fun of or gossip about? What if you mostly focused on gratitude for the people and things working in your life, and had compassion for those who aren’t quite there yet, and as a result, your life mostly worked, and people were mostly good to you and you were mostly good to them? Would that be boring?
I can tell you from personal experience that the answer is “no”. It’s the opposite of boring.
The truth is, drama is boring…and draining. It takes all your energy away from the truly fun, empowering and satisfying things in life like creating stuff for yourself and others, sharing your skills, knowledge and ideas (not regurgitating opinions, but actual ideas for solutions to everyday problems), playing with and sharing experiences with others, encouraging yourself and others. And drama is something that cannot happen without your participation.
So if you’d like to experience an amazing 2018, make a decision right now that, no matter what happens this year, you intend to not create, feed or participate in drama. Intend instead to create and feed gratitude, love, kindness, compassion and joy. Pour your energy into creating healthy, loving relationships, exploring your passions, sharing your time and experiences with others. Don’t waste another second of your life on drama. It’s a false form of empowerment and entertainment and distraction that leaves you empty in the end.
