Queen movie, Bohemian Rhapsody has officially become the
highest-grossing music biopic of all time. Queen‘s song ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’
became the most-streamed track from the
twentieth century.
In real life, Freddie Mercury had very strange teeth - four extra teeth had forced his front teeth forward. He was said to be self-conscious and embarrassed about them.
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
It is said: "You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic; true power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you."
Energy vampires take our energy and exhaust us. Some or overbearing or loud; others are charming or soft-spoken. They can be neighbors, coworkers, telemarketers or big shots barking orders to a waiter in a small café. Spouses, children and in-laws may drain us too, even if they don't intend to.
There's the type that whenever you talk to her, she's whining. She casts herself as a victim. The world's always against her, to blame for her unhappiness. When you present a solution, she says, "Yes...but." You might find yourself hearing the same complaints over and over.
There are the ones who has a sneaky way of making you feel guilty for not getting things just right. He uses accusations to drain, leaving no room for discussion. You walk away feeling knifed. as if you'd fallen to the bottom of a well.
Then there are those who have a grandiose sense of self-importance and entitlement, hog attention and crave admiration. Some narcissists are unlikeable egoists. Others can be charming, intelligent, caring - only when you are stroking their ego.
All my life, I've had a an energetic personality. I'm happy about that. Even so, a vampire's effects can stun like a sonic blast or make you slowly wilt. I myself am most susceptible to emotional vampires when I feel desperate, tired or disempowered. But when we get angry and hateful, we are giving them power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health and our happiness.
In truth, it's our choice.
We can simply feel tortured, resentful, impotent. I choose to view these as opportunities to not be a sucker for negativity and try to bring empathy into every relationship.
Namaste.
