 Many of us know the harmful effect of negativity. Napolean Hill,
author of Think and Grow Rich says; "There is very little difference in
people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little
difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it's positive or
negative."
It is probably easier to be negative than positive. It is easy to
slide into a blaming culture, the poor little old me mindset. We all
know the importance of being positive and usually more effort is needed
to a maintain positivity as it is easy to slide into negativity.
However, you can avoid negativity and disallow it to ruin your life
by recognising them. Negative energy in our life can be ourselves and
the people around us.
Personal negativity could come in the form of suspicion, mistrust
and self doubt. Very often many of us allow negativity to invade our
thoughts, for example, doubting the possibility that things are going
smoothly, believing that there is a catch somewhere, always wary about
being taken for a ride and being jealous of another person’s
achievements. As we are the master of our own destiny and our thoughts
can make or break us, such negativity will hinder our progress and even
destroy something that is going well.
Negativity energy could also come from people could be our
colleagues, our friends and family. When you are around people who say
things to cast doubts in your mind, complained about almost everything
and whatever other people are doing, it can have a negative effect on
your emotions and behaviour. These people live in fear and worry. They
can’t control their emotions and they are frequently angry. Being
around negative people can drain your energy. Their negativity can lead
you to making wrong judgement and decisions.
Sometimes, it may not be possible to stay away from negative people
especially if they are family members. However, it is possible to walk
away from a negative conversation. Stay away from people who make you
doubt yourself or your progress
You know you are becoming a negative person when your venture start
failing and your progress get stifled. You will notice that positive
people stay away from you and you are surrounded by people who are
constantly negative. Eventually, you will become an angry and depressed
person.
Remember, nothing gets solved being negative and it will only make
worsened our life. Recognise the negative energy, stay away from it and
make a conscious effort to be positive.
“Whenever a negative thought concerning your personal power comes to
mind, deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out.” - Norman
