Do you ever feel like you are constantly drowning in a sea of negativity, trying to find a way to the surface and find some positive things?
I feel this way in all sorts of ways in my life. I know it's not how it should be but it is, and no this is not a blog for a pity party I'm just getting things off my chest.
I have all these aspirations for things in my life. I am a super passionate person when it comes to something I really care about. Sometimes being in the world just discourages me from being passionate about the things I love. I know that God gave me a heart of passion for these things and I shouldn't care about what others say or even do to make me feel this way. I just feel that sometimes people can be so critical and I'm sure I have been to, and you know what, I am sorry. Who are we as people to judge the way someone does something? Just saying I think our world needs to be filled with more things like encouragement and uplifting words like you are doing great and things like that. Our world is filled with so many negative things that it's hard to see the positives.
Some things I have come up with to stay positive when people all around me are spreading negativity into my life are...
If you are surrounded by negativity, either people just being negative in their life or people that portray negativity of what you are doing... try to not be around them as much. Surround yourself with people who are going to be encouraging and uplifting. Why would you want to be friends with someone who doesn't believe in your potential? If they find this offending,,, who cares!!! Tell them you will spend more time with them when you don't feel so discouraged around them.
Try to find the positive in every situation, that is what the Bible teaches us. it says in Proverbs 17:22 "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." So it is teaching us that we need to have a joyful heart. Look onto your positives. I guarantee they will outweigh the negatives.
Avoid “gripe sessions”. Some disgruntled people love nothing better than encouraging others to vent their frustration and join the hate club. Sometimes all it takes is a polite, "I don’t feel comfortable criticizing other people", to make them back off. This is especially hard for us women LOL becasue it's just our nature to gossip. Instead of griping about people try lifting them up. If you have an issue with someone go to them and talk to them about it (easier said than done, believe me, I KNOW.) or pray for God to give you the love for them that He has. It's amazing what will happen.
These are just a couple things to help to find positives and to avoid the negativity that the world and even close friends can cause. You ca n take it or leave it, this has just been on my chest and I wanted to get it out.
