You don't have to let just anyone impact your mind or life.
You get to designate those that have access to this special space.
You get to favor some over others.
As a rule...you should always give more than you take...but that's not everyone's rule.
Be compassionate. Be helpful. Be inclusive. Be positive...but don't let those around you have the power to pull you downwards.
Get good at these three skills:
Be good at cooperating with those that offer help from above.
Be good at offering assistance to those needing help up.
Be good at fending off those that have negative impact on your mind or life
