The Good the Bad the Positve...

Well today I had a lot of time to think about the different energies in my life. The positive and the negative.

1st: The Negative. The energy from all of the things or people that bother or annoy me. This energy is like a black hole that sucks you in and turns everything negative. It is the cause of every moment we find ourselves complaining or nagging, or speaking negatively of others. It all roots from those things we allow in our lives to bug us, to pester and infect us. All of those people in our life that wronged us, or said something offensive. WE CHOOSE to let these things be talk of our discussion. We speak ill of these things, we dwell on them often and the result is bitter feelings, anger and spite, but these are not the only result. Why do we allow so much of ourselves to fall into this bottomless pit of endless dispair? Why do continue to let the negative control what happens in our lifes. Have any of us ever had a "good" day while all we thought about was how angry we were at one of our neighbors or someone at work. Our entire world is effected by how much energy we give to these things. The result from thinking negatively is not just bad feelings spring up inside of us. It is much more. We may begin to find a lot more "bad" things happening to us. More people begin to cut you off, more lights begin to turn red and stay red for an eternity! You begin to fight more with your spouse, you lose your job, maybe even a car wreck. All things resulting from us atracting these things into our lives by thinking negatively.

2nd. The positive. Don't you just feel down after just reading all that negative jargin? Well now on a brighter side. We must allow all of our energy to be dedicated to the positive. I bet we can all think of someone who is happy all of the time, but we continue to say to ourselves 'why do things always go well for that guy?' I can think of many who are always happy and things just happen to always work out for them. We must not allow ourselves to be carried away in loathing, and begin to focus our energy in positive creation; that is when our whole world changes. We FEEL GOOD! Isn't that what we all want? What is bad about feeling good? Nothing! We all want that? Now that feeling may come in a variety of ways for each of us, but we all know what it feels like. It's intoxicating! The feeling of christmas morning, the feeling of seeing a good friend after being apart for months. The feeling of giving and seeing the reciever's face light up with joy. I heard once that if we are to be happy we must be self centered(I know Steven Covey says to be principle centered but bare with me). He talked about how Mother Theresa was an amazing example of being self centered. Now I know she dedicated her whole life to others but we are not focusing on why she did it. She focused on others because it made HER feel good. She did it because she felt it was HER obligation and that God commanded HER to do it. She wasn't doing it for others for any other reason than the fact of feeling good and accompishing what she thought was to be her purpose in life. Does that make sense? We must search out and dedicate all of our energy to thinking positively. How much energy do we waste after someone says something offensive to us. We think about it all the time, we complain for hours to everyone we know about how stupid the other person is, and nothing is accomplished. Well not for good at least. Now what if we would of just confronted immediatley that person and ask them why they said whatever they said. We may have even just missunderstod them. If we haven't developed that kind of courage yet. Then we can say to ourselves 'hmm he must have been having a bad day' And then forget about it. Our entire world will change for the better as we begin to think positively. We will develope stronger relationships, get that raise we are looking for, and that signifigant other might even become a bit more passionate...

The only way to know how much your world will change is to just begin to search only for the positive. Quit choosing to focus on the negative or it will follow you wherever you will go. Good luck, I would love to hear from everyone anykind of experience that is a direct result of thinking positively. Let me know!
