A Good Attitude Helps...

The reason why I speak my mind, and the reason why I get aggressive is because I believe that when negative energy is directed towards you, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible. And most importantly, you need to redirect back from whence it came. In my opinion choosing the higher road and ignoring it is bullshit. Why? Because what ends up happening is that you bottle that negativity inside of you. You carry it. It burdens you. It doesn't just disappear.....

Negativity breeds negativity, zap its flow as quickly as possible by switching focus or making amends.  Negativity exists all around us and it is up to us to either let it influence our lives and drag us down or to do something about it and rise above it.  Many years ago, when I was going through a very difficult period in my life I met a person, who today is one of my very best friends, but many years ago this friend was completely down on life and on people.  Seems like no matter what I tried her mind was already made up and nothing was going to change that.  I was faced with the decision to stay friends or to call it quits.  I choose to remain friends with this person, a decision I am happy I made.  At the same time, I choose to not be part of that negativity she is so caught up in.  Today though we live hundreds of miles apart I know I can count on her and she knows she can do the same.  Yes, occasionally I do have to listen to that other side of her, but I have learnt that not everything in life is perfect and sometimes to see the good we also have to experience the not so good.   I can deal with negative people when necessary just like most...just a part of life and as we know life has no set rules....remember  every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day.

 Happiness is an attitude.  We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong.  The amount of work is the same....

until next time..
