"People are often unreasonable illogical and self centered. FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY."
~ Mother Teresa
It is so easy to fall into the world of negativity! Actually being negative for some people is more comforting than being positive. Why? Because being negative doesn't take strength, however being positive takes practice and STRENGTH!!!
Sometimes we work so hard to be positive and it can be hard to stay positive when negativity knocks on our door, breaking the positive momentum that took so long to build!
"What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight, BUILD ANYWAY."
~ Mother Teresa
When you do come across a negative/critical thinker, think of them as a weak soul lacking strength on working on their thoughts.
Most people that are negative, lack control and discipline in their lives, hence why they naturally pull others into their pool of negativity, where they have some sort of comfort within.
How to stay positive around negative energy:
1. It's not you! It's them!
When a negative/critical thinker tells you that your idea or your work is not reasonable, remember that possibilities are that they most likely think that it's not reasonable or possible for them!
Negative people have trouble believing in themselves so it will be hard for them to believe in you. So don't allow their words discourage you!
"The People That Influence you, are the people that believe in You." ~Henry Drummond
2. It's just not You, It's Everyone!
Don't take what a critical/negative thinker says to you. Their words of criticism and sarcasm is just not pointed towards you, they throw negativity to everyone around them!
"If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish motives, BE KIND ANYWAY."
~ Mother Teresa
3. Tune Yourself Back In!
Don't let negative energy pull you in a black hole!
Negativity is very contagious only if you allow it to catch you! When encountering critical/negative thinkers, surround yourself back to positive energy and repeat silently,
"I Believe in Myself, the Universe is for me, NO ONE can be against me."
4. Negative/Critical Thinkers love to Project!
Next time your at work and your boss tells you what a horrible job you have done on a project, knowing that you've done your 100%. Remind yourself that perhaps your boss is having a rough day and is projecting what a horrible day he or she is having on to your work. Don't let their words of anger affect your work performance, instead work even HARDER!!
"When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over, he does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
5. Positive thinking works!
Don't ever stop thinking positive even if someone attempts to bring you down! Always feel uplifted! Think Positive, think Big! Anything is possible when you keep yourself tuned in!!!!
Don't forget Everyone can think Positive but some CHOOSE not to, but you have the strength to be positive and that alone makes you STRONG!
"If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies, SUCCEED ANYWAY." ~Mother Teresa
Love. Peace. Harmony.
