On getting rid of negativity and negative people

One of the things that I struggle with the most is staying positive. If you ask any of my friends, I always say to keep the PMA (positive mental attitude), but it's so difficult for me to actually follow through on that because I've surrounded myself with a lot of negative people. It's difficult to stay positive when everyone and everything around you makes you feel otherwise.

One of my new resolutions/goals/changes is to get rid of the negativity. I don't have time for people who are constantly bringing me down, and I won't tolerate it anymore. I am about to start my adult life, and I need to go into it with my head held high and feeling good about myself. People with no ambition or aspirations and people who only complain have no place in it.

I couldn't decide if I wanted to wait until graduation to let these people naturally fall out of my life, but I refuse to take another second of it. I want to make drastic life changes, and I either want to be inspired by those around me or not have anyone around me at all.

I am moving forward.
