Even after we banish our negative thoughts and focus on building a positive life, clouds of negativity will still roll into our lives.
How does it happen? Look around. The people in our lives have a powerful influence on our moods. They can make us happy, or they can drag us down.
We all know people who aren't just positive thinkers; they've made a conscious decision to live a positive life. They assume people have good intentions. They validate those around them. They mold challenge into opportunity. We are drawn to these type of people because they inspire us.
Then there are the people who radiate negativity. They seem to enjoy pointing out other people's faults. They expect the worst and consistently complain about their lives.
Although we admire positive people, negativity has its own power. It's like a virus, silently spreading through a group.
We need to remind ourselves that their negative thinking is like a compass that points to an unhealthy destination. It's a compass that we don't have to follow. We just need to find a better GPS system :-)
There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.
Choose to live life in a happy state of mind.
