It seems to me that we as an entire race are to negative. We worry about not having enough money for bills instead of thinking about new ways money can be made. We worry that we will make a mistake and then we usually do. We don't want to lose this person in our life instead of thinking that we want to keep the good people.
We all do this. It seems like a self fulfilling prophecy. We think negative, then we look for the negative and when it happens we say that we knew it was going to be this way.
Think of it as the rush in the morning. You say to yourself " I can not be late" (negative thought) and then things go wrong... can't find the keys... spill something on yourself...and so on. And each time something happens you get upset and think about being late, and you start making yourself late. What if instead you thought to yourself that you would make it just on time ( a more positive note) Take time and breath and if something does go wrong, do not panic about it just take a breath and keep moving.
I have seen many people turn their whole life around by doing this but it does have a side that is hard to deal with. This would be the idea of "be careful what you wish for". Take myself for example, I was thinking about new money coming in and taking a nice trip. Well I wanted to be open to the possibility if new paths opening so I let it stand at that thought. Imagine what went through my mind when I was called in and told I no longer had a job. I could have went all negative and complained, but I realized I had asked for a new path for more income. Well that is what I was given. A wide open path. I did not let it get me down I just kept thinking that it was for the best and that the new way would be shown to me and it has been. I am working toward that goal now and could not be happier.
What I am trying to say is that negativity brings us down in ways we can not even imagine. If we all think positively and want to make a change for the better, then we can do so.
This also applies to all of us making large changes in the world.
We have to want the changes, positive changes, and help others see that we need the changes too. There is a great shift in our way of thinking happening. We are becoming more understanding. We are beginning to care about what we are doing to ourselves and our planet. Years ago there was a large push to help end litter and it worked. But it fell to the wayside. Maybe we should bring that back and start to clean up our planet.
We need to embrace differences and learn from them instead of hiding and fighting. We need to look at what we want to become.
We need to begin thinking of living a more full life instead of sheltering ourselves and not growing.
Think about positive ways to address problems in your life and keep those ideas in your mind. Problems will begin to disappear and you will have a new and positive look on life.
Do not believe me? Smile at a stranger and actually say hello instead of nodding. You will feel a difference in yourself and be able to sense a difference in the other person.
Go out and be the positive in the world instead of adding to the negative.
Take a deep breath of fresh air.
