Negative influence is everywhere. It exists outside you. You can sense it through your five physical senses: hear, see, touch, taste, smell. It exists within you in form of thought. Negative influence often work on you through subconscious mind, therefore, they are difficult to detect.
Napoleon Hills stated that the most common weakness of all human being is the habit of leaving their mind open to the negative influence of other people. This is damaging as most people do not recognize that they are cursed by it. Even if they acknowledge it, they neglect or refuse to correct it until it becomes an uncontrollable part of their daily habits.
Clean out your medicine chest, throw away all pill bottles, and stop pandering to colds, aches, pains, and imaginary illness.
Keep your mind closed against all people who depress or discourage you in any way.
Do not expect troubles as they have a tendency not to disappoint.
Use your willpower to build a wall of immunity against negative influences in your own mind.
AND the BEST way is to deliberately seek the company of people who influence you to THINK AND ACT FOR YOURSELF.
