It seems like some of us attract mostly negative people around us who claim to be our friends. Can negative people ever truly be anyone's friends?

We have heard the saying, "Like draws like." Well, it is true. When we send out energy like anger, hate, or a desire to hurt others, this energy reaches out into the universe and attracts like energy. We draw to ourselves those who harbor the same kind of energy within their own hearts. We are like a magnet. This is a law of the universe.

Knowing this, we can easily see that we can change our environment. If we find ourselves surrounded by negative people, then we need to look at ourselves. What kind of energy are we sending out? Are we sending out positive energy or negative energy?

If we want to have positive friends around us, people who love one another and send us good warm energy, then we must send this same energy out into the universe. It will draw the angels and warm loving spirits into closeness with us, and we will find ourselves surrounded by people who love one another. That is the awesomeness of being part of the creation process. We get to have a part in creating our own world!

The energy we send out and draw unto ourselves, is a living consciousness. This consciousness may be either one of light, or one of darkness. If it is one of darkness, it will have a tendency of making us feel down or depressed. However, if it is one of positive light, it will be an uplifting presence. It will help to make us feel lighthearted and happy.
