Our environments are all that matters. The people in it have a direct impact on the quality of our lives. Ways to ensure a life free from abuse and torment, is to clean out your environment. No matter how small or insignificant the interactions may be, we must always be aware that everything will either contribute positively or negativity into our lives. The people you live with or play with or work with will either help you or bring you down. We all want to live free of any abuse or fear and avoid negative things from entering our lives, so the best way to make that a reality is to be aware of who you share space with. Once we are aware of the huge impact people and things in our space play in the success and happiness of our lives we will most certainly be more picky. Control your life and future, and do not fall victim to another persons downward spiral or negative space bubbles. Once our space bubbles touch the ripple effect starts and we are affected by them.

To illustrate this point I will share my life lesson from last night. I had a strange universal message happened last night, where I'm reminded of how having a positive environment is of the utmost importance in life. One particular roommate of mine is questionable and a drag on society. He is a negative blob in my environment that I try to ignore at all costs. Last night my boyfriend's car and my car were keyed from this disgruntled roommate. We were wanting to get rid of this person for some time now, and this was a sign that we can not be around people who are abusive, negative, and useless. I'm reminded of why it makes such a difference to have the people around you on a good vibration who bring happiness and enable positive actions. This is also another big reminder that even if you think you may have it all under control, where you are not being influenced by negative people, if you are around them in any way(even if you ignore them) they will have an effect on you.

Lesson 2 million five hundred thousand and twenty: Your environment on the outside as well as the inside needs to be free from all negative people/emotions in order to really have control of your life. I will not have full control over what happens in my life until I eliminate people who are bringing me down, even if it is just being the average of the 5 people that share my living space.

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the power and control of verbal abuse is certainly a form of domestic violence. I was in a grocery store several days ago when I heard a man speaking to his partner in a low voice. So I pretended to look through various products on the shelves in front of them. The man said in a low growl, "if you buy that, I'll take your car keys for a week. Do you understand me?"

I am a great fan of technology and all the ways it enhances our lives and businesses, however it gives rise to a particularly 21st Century phenomenon, Cyber-stalking. Cyber-stalking is defined as non-consensual communication that causes fear and alarm, where some people use the internet as a weapon to threaten and harass others. According to recent reports, it has now become more frequent than physical stalking to the point where agencies have been set up to combat this trend and to protect the vulnerable and the naive.
