Negativity

There is a lot of negativity in our world today. It seems you can hardly turn on the television without seeing all the negative things taking place in our society. It would be nice to hear that people are doing good things, in a good way, for the good of mankind but that is seldom, if ever, reported.

If you surround yourself with negativity and negative people, it won't be long before you become quite negative. There's an old saying that goes something like, "You can't have a bad day with a good attitude and you can't have a good day with a bad attitude." Some folks just seem to love bad days, and they want you to share in it with them.

Today's word is just something I came across a little while back and it reinforces what I am trying to say today: "The less you respond to negative people, the more peaceful your life will become."

I try to avoid being around negative folks as much as possible. Negativity is a disease that eats away on the inside, manifests in outward actions, and is highly contagious. If you find yourself around a bunch of negativity, it is best to remove yourself quickly before it infects you, if you can. You can't always avoid negativity, but you don't always have to consume it.

You want more peace in your life? Don't we all? Then, we must pursue things that are peaceful. There is nothing about negativity that is peaceful. Things can be bad, and we will all go through them; some people have gone through far more than I could ever imagine. But, try not to let those things cloud your faith that GOD has a plan, and it is all working for my good. And, if you want to have more peace in your life, avoid negativity.

Be Blessed,
