How many times have you felt down and depressed after a conversation filled with negativity? How many dreams have you given up on because of someone toxic person feeding you with negativity?

If there's any truth to this saying, why do we continue to allow toxic people to invade our lives and walk away with our joy and peace? Why do we continue to allow these people to fill our lives with such toxicity? How do these people really effect our lives? More importantly, how do we decontaminate and get rid of these people?
