Keep it Positive



 

I’ve been dealing with a lot of negativity and stress in my life lately. And I am one of those people that likes to take control, in a good way, and try to make everything better. I want people to see the world through rose colored glasses; or at least just be truthful, honest, and clean.

We all talk about these diets to clean our insides, and drinks we need to take to detox; what about cleansing our souls? Why don’t we focus on that? Why aren’t we honest and truthful with those around us, about errors or mistakes we’ve made in our lives? Why do we stack lie upon lie upon lie; making the rest of the world look like incompetent fools, or those that have possibly lost their minds, trying to explain to people the truth?

If you are so ashamed of what you have done, then why did you do it? If you can’t be honest with yourself, or those around you; then how do you expect people to trust you or believe in you? Why can’t you set a good example, or start with yourself. I feel that people have forgotten the true meaning of honesty:

hon·es·ty
[on-uh-stee]
NOUN [PLURAL HON·ES·TIES.]
1. the quality or fact of being honest; uprightness and fairness.
2. truthfulness, sincerity, or frankness.
3. freedom from deceit or fraud.


Instead of the outside of yourself, start with the inside of yourself. Start purging there. The outside of your self doesn’t look very attractive, no matter how pretty your skin is, how gorgeous your hair is, or how in shape you are, if your soul is a mess. Star purifying there.

So, with having to overcome a lot of negativity, I have learned that a lot of people can’t be changed; even though they certainly need to change. They can’t admit their flaws, or their wrong-doings. They just brush it under the rug and keep moving forward, regardless of who they hurt or damage along the way.

Therefore, I have learned to focus on the positive in the world. Remind myself of all the good the world has to offer. How extremely blessed I am. And of all the wonderful decision I have made in my life. And that I have no regrets, and not for one minute am I ashamed to tell anyone in my life one thing I have done, or not done.

I have learned to teach myself to “be positive”. I know that sounds silly that I must “teach” myself to be positive, but unfortunately, in today’s world, it is easier to fall into the “grumpy” category and all the negativity that is going on in the world, or in your world; but to keep reminding yourself, just exactly what you are blessed with each and every day.
And to not allow the negative to seep in and take control of your life, your happiness, or your well-being. Because it’s true, stress, and sadness can bring you down and make you unhealthy. So, don’t let those naysayers be the reason you are sick or unhealthy.

It’s their path of destruction they chose, not yours. Stay strong, and stay positive:


pos·i·tive
[poz-i-tiv]
ADJECTIVE
1. explicitly stated, stipulated, or expressed: a positive acceptance of the agreement.
2. admitting of no question: positive proof.
3. stated; express; emphatic: a positive denial.
4. confident in opinion or assertion; fully assured: He is positive that he will win the contest.
5. overconfident or dogmatic: The less he knows, the more positive he gets.
