You cannot allow negativity around you. You have to be watchful of the people who try to reconnect to your life. Ifthey do not add to your life, then they subtract from your life, and thus take away your power. You have to make sure that you build up your immune system to those people who want to infect your life with their negativity. People can discern your success before you see your success.  Jesus was crucified because the people could see his success, his power, his fame. In fact, if the people in your circle do not dance the same dance, eat the same food, shout the same shout, think the same thoughts, then you should not be around them. 

When the blessings show up, the enemy shows up also. Life and death co-exist together. The minute someone dies, another person is born. When you tell God you want blessings, hell shows up in your life. When you tell God you are going to be a millionaire, lack and poverty show up saying, "Okay, let's see which one he/she will grab first." There has to be balance. In order for a battery to operate there must be a positiveand negative charge. Positive and negative co-exist. 
When you look outside of yourself, you diminish your power. You weaken yourself. There is no one outside of you. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."  (Proverbs 23:7)
