Vibrate Responsibly

Ask yourself this question: "Are you taking responsibility for the energy you're bringing to others?" If you've had a tough day, does everybody hear about it
from you? Does everyone know how rotten and unfair you think your life is? When you come home from work, school, or wherever, does your family
immediately sense whether you've had a good day or a bad one? (Believe me, they do... They can feel your energy.)

We live on a vibrational planet, and everything on the planet vibrates, including people. We either put out a high vibration or a low vibration. A high
vibration results from feelings of happiness, love, respect, and positivity. A low vibration comes from the emotions of anger, depression, stress, and
negativity. When you come home to your family or go to work each day, recognise how your vibration affects and influences the degree of joy or sadness in
other people's lives. Step back and check yourself: What type of energy are you carrying from place to place, person to person? Is it going to enhance
another's well-being or deteriorate it?
If you radiate a positive, high vibration, and someone comes into contact with you who is radiating a negative, low vibration, you have a choice. The choice
is either to 1.maintain your alignment with that positive vibration by politely excusing yourself from them or staying and deciding not to attach to their petty
dramas, or 2.lower yourself to the other person's negative vibration, letting their drama change your mood for the worse. For those times when you encounter
particular individuals who, without fail, push your buttons, no matter how hard you try to remain centred, remember that when you start getting all worked
up, those people are are teaching you how to find peace. They are testing you. You can pass the test by learning to be peaceful as an alternative to anger or
frustration - accepting that they are who they are, and it is what it is - to keep you on the right track.

Join the Club
Have you ever noticed how certain people gravitate toward each other? In social and work circles they are often called "cliques." For instance, if you look
closely enough, you'll tend to see that people who are always complaining about something seem to be friends with other complainers. Those who are rather
judgmental usually hang out with people who also hold critical views. Consequently, folks who like to laugh and just have fun normally get together with
others who have similar interests and share their sense of humour. To put it another way, animal rights organisations don't attract members that enjoy
hunting, and hunting clubs don't attract vegetarians. However, angry people do attract other angry people, and happy people do attract other happy people.
Individuals who are on the same vibrational level are magnets to one another.

Therefore, be the type of person you would like to attract to yourself. Be the kind of person you'd like to have as a friend. Take a moment and look around
you. What clubs have you joined?
The Ripple or ‘Butterfly’ Effect

Let's look at the big picture. When we contribute to a shift in another person's energy, either positively or negatively, it actually affects humanity on a much
larger scale. The concept referred to as the butterfly effect has been embraced by popular culture, where the term is often used to emphasize the outsize
significance of minute occurrences. In the 1990 movie Havana, Robert Redford, played the role of Jack Weil, a gambler with a knack for mathematics and
proclaims to his co-star, Lena Olin, that “a butterfly can flutter its wings over a flower in China and cause a hurricane in the Caribbean.” Page216
