TAKING THE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE ROUTE

TAKING THE POSITIVE

OR NEGATIVE ROUTE

THINGS CAN always be worse, but they can always be better

too. It’s up to you to decide which route to take when you

reach that fork in your decision – making road. Of course

things are going to happen that are out of your control or that

set you off course and take you in a different direction than

you intended to be going in … but that’s when your resolve

and dedication to your path kick into over-drive … or doesn’t.

It may seem nonsensical, but your mood and general outlook

play a general guiding role in that. If you decide to beat

yourself up and dwell on the negativity, you’re refusing to

move forward. Even if you think you are, or are capable of

still moving forward, you’re not. You’re fooling yourself.

That negativity snowballs and grabs other negative aspects of

your life and areas that you feel you can be doing better in,

and brings them to the forefront of your mind. Misery loves

company, right? Negativity comes in all different shapes and

sizes, colors and textures, so it may be hard to recognize …

but you can train yourself to. Cleanse yourself of it wherever

and whenever possible. Hate, jealousy, envy, greed, self-doubt,

self-loathing, are all forms of negativity. – They all exist

but don’t have to. Flip it on them. Substitute in; love, trust,

admiration, generosity, belief in yourself, pride - But not the

selfish stubborn kind, the motivating ‘I can do this’ kind. The

former is just negativity disguised. Just like the negativity

snowballs, so does the positivity. Set the course of which way

it goes, by the choices you make. And again, there’s no exact

right and wrong, good and bad. There’s just right & wrong

and good & bad – for you. You decide what that means. Do

away with the negative thoughts and actions, negative beliefs

and people. Each and every one of those are dispensable if

you’re trying to be positive … they’re just negativity disguised.

Does positivity disguise itself too?
