I am fascinated by people who are eternal pessimists they wake up and see a lovely day outside instead of seeing the beauty of that-they begin previewing what is wrong with the day.You call it reality,well you make your reality.It does get to me to even spend a second with them I mean there are SO many negative things in the world,do we really need someone sitting next to us magnifying it?I say no!Then wait until they break a heel on their way to work we never get the end of how bad the day is yet it is a simple case of a shoe breaking now the particular someone has already visualised how everything terrible will happen.Of course it does go horribly wrong as predicted.
Let me get to my point see we all have those mornings that have a few mishaps.I have learnt the secret code of silence when things start out a little shaky.We are not born optimist or pessimists our environment dictates it but we cant let our background take all the blame there are too many success stories out there from people who had really tough backgrounds.We choose what to let into our space.I found myself with an acquaintance who was in a bad space to say the least she was complaining about how horrible everything is.
To make her feel better I repeated her negative statement and before long true to my words though everything was great,by declaring those little words all in the name of solidarity my world over-turned for a while.It is so interesting to me that we have that kind of power.It is not just a Biblical statement but rather true!You could say that is a coincidence but i beg to differ.I believe that with our words we really shape what we want.I do not suggest that mere words is enough but more often or not what we talk about constantly becomes our truth.A friend of mine once said if you get into something you have no belief in or declare the negative before you even start,chances are it will definitely fail.You have set your mental register to only see the negative so even if you met the 'perfect' scenario for work or whatever else you desire,you would be too absorbed on what could go wrong to see it.
Truth is the world is dark and bright at the same time look around and declare the positive you want.It is no fantasy but as much as the negative out ways the positive what should we dwell on?solutions or more problems!Someone once said- 'why should you spend your time talking about things you hate?surely there must be some good in your environment'!You are allowed to feel a little negative sometimes but if that is how you decide to live,then you really are not living you are merely existing!Living is all about seeing the negative and still taking a calculated risk and believing there is some good out there!!
