Falling in love with someone and finding out they want to spend the rest of their life with you is one of the most exhilarating of all human experiences.

The healthy people who desire to take responsibility for their lives are said to drive themselves crazy while toxic people drive everyone else crazy.

When healthy persons are in conflict with the world, they automatically assume that they are at fault, but when toxic people are in conflict with the world, they automatically assume the world to be at fault.

When a toxic person doesn't get his or her way, their next gambit is often to make your motives sound sinister.

Toxic people are often ruled by selfishness and spite. They are usually draining instead of encouraging, and they use people instead of loving them.

Toxic people aren't just difficult people. They're not "unsaved" people. They're not merely unpleasant people. The toxic people we're talking about are the kind of people who are basically taking you down and destroying your mission.

If someone is trying to control you, that itself is toxic.

When a toxic person is attacking you, you don't have to participate.

Resolve today that the toxic people won't take you down or even distract you.

Toxic people ruin family gatherings. They assault friendships. They can run businesses into the ground.
