The Drug of Gossip

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn said, “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Whether that’s true or not — other people’s mindset is contagious. When you spend time with people who also focus on positive thinking, it can rub off on you and help you see the bright side of things. When you spend time with people who gossip and engage in negative thoughts, it will also rub off on you. In today's society, women will bond over gossiping. But in reality, instead of bonding us, it leaves us questioning our relationships as well as ourselves within our social groups. Gossip is like fatty food, and humans crave it, but the more we consume it, the bigger the impact it has on our mental and physical health. It's time to reevaluate the conversations we're having with women. Dive into the purpose of our friendships and truly reflect on how you want to spend your time and enegry.
