Staying POSITIVE In This NEGATIVE WORLD

Staying Positive in a Negative World

It’s hard for me to stay positive when I’m around negative people. Let’s face it, we can’t escape them. They are everywhere! At home we might have that nagging mother in law that never finds good in anything you do. What about work? That one co worker who hates their job so much it shows in their work ethics? What about your friend? Yeah you know the one who loves drama, she lives off it or one of those friends who is always complaining and never happy? Even when you are trying to relax and enjoy your meal at a restaurant and you might ask for a pack of ketchup? Have you ever thought the waiter bought the ketchup pack, that’s why she only gave you one? LOL I'm sorry that irritates me, I had to throw that one in. All this we have to learn when to deal with it and when to walk away. God knows I’m still a work in progress, but my persistence is paying off, I see and feel the difference.
I first had to learn it was ok to get mad. See when I was seeking inner peace, reading all these self help books, attending seminars and webinars, they made me feel as though I can’t get mad. If I get mad, it would ruin my day. But it was just the opposite, suppressing my anger only made me feel worse. So if someone makes you upset, get mad, you have every right to be, but it’s your decision or not if you want to stay mad. Get mad, let it out, and now refocus. Write down your feelings. Write Write Write. Writing is the window to our souls. Now make a decision to forgive and let go.
The mind is a powerful thing. Its funny how we can believe all the negative thoughts our subconscious aka your inner self can have you believe, verses the good positive affirmations we try to convince ourselves with. But the key is being persistent and recognizing our self worth. How we value and treat ourselves determines how we value and treat others. If we can’t deal with our own negative stuff, how are we suppose to deal with the World’s? I have to always remember time is precious. Do I want to waste my precious time that I will NEVER get back on someone who is not worthy of it? The great thing about knowing yourself worth, it lets you see who is not worthy of your presence. I always remember what granny told me when I find myself in a situation, “Kill them with kindness baby” and it works every time! www.lifewithkenya.com
