Being positive is not an easy task. Heck, in today’s world, being positive is a struggle for more people than most can imagine. I was speaking to someone today about how our negativity is such a horrible virus. Being negative is a virus that spreads instantly, if allowed. You have control on if you want to allow someone’s negativity germs get on you.

When you first see someone and they are in a horrible mood, their mood can affect your mood quickly. A bad attitude can affect your mood instantly. Someone who only speaks negative can affect your mood instantly. You would be lying to yourself if you believed someone’s negativity didn’t weigh on your positive attitude, this is where your positive strength will learn and push away the negativity around you.

Most negative people want to break down a positive person’s spirit, this helps the negative person believe how they feel is the right way to feel. Negative people have difficulty seeing anything positive because they have lived in such a negative life, most can’t imagine what it would be like to be happy more so than not.

What can cause one to be negative:

1. Being told something will be done and it’s not…over and over again.
2. Not being recognized for doing something good, not being appreciated.
3. Not believing in yourself.
4. Failing at something without realizing that failing is a learning lesson.
5. Finding fault in everything without seeing the good/positive side.
6. Using the word “can’t” all the time.
7. Not listening to positive advise, having a closed mind.
8. Thinking you can’t be positive or nothing will ever change for the good.

I use to be a very negative person, and I am so proud to say I am more positive these days. Yes, I still have my negative moments, but I know how to do great self-talk and turn my negative thoughts into positive lessons. I have learned from other people’s negative attitude. I want to teach how life is much better being positive, even in today’s world.

As I have always said, you can continue to be negative and miserable, or you can help the world become a more positive place by starting with yourself and spreading your positivity to others. So…rise up, be strong, and kick that negativity to the curb. A negative mind/thought will last as long as you want it to, or you can let your positive attitude shine through.
