There's two sides to every story!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cHe who angers you, conquers you\u201d -Elizabeth Kenny<\/p>\n

I have a confession to make: Los Angeles can *kind of * get under your skin.
\nWhen you come here, it seems like it’s full of negative people, but that’s not really the truth. The fact is, the people here are all MASSIVELY self absorbed. So, once you realize that no one really cares about you because they are too busy caring about themselves, things become much easier!<\/p>\n

The point I am making, is that in general, people aren’t really out to get you.
\nThey are way too busy dealing with their own\u00a0baggage\u00a0<\/a>and difficulties to be focused on you one way or another!<\/p>\n

In the video below I explain several ways to deal with ‘negative’ people, and how to become everyone’s favorite person in the process.<\/p>\n

For this article, I want to explain a few things I may have left out of the video.<\/p>\n

I’m going to explain to you one the absolute biggest keys to attaining freedom and\u00a0peace of mind<\/a>. It’s very simple; a single word actually.<\/p>\n
