How freakin true is that for most people we know. It cringes my stomach when I hear people just talking crap about others or moaning about life and never doing anything about it.
We switch on the news and 99% of the time we expect to hear gloom and doom because no one in the media with a position of power and influence, thinks that "Good News will create high viewing rates.
Not Knocking anyone that likes soap opera's but again the most common story lines that we engage with are often stories that promote aggravation.
In short it makes me think that most of us are conditioned to think of the world as an evil place where we can not trust another fellow human being and that mentality keeps us separated and divided and powerless.
We know there is a lot about our world that we do not like or agree with but we are conditioned to turn a blind eye and keep our mouths shut or we will moan about it but never take any positive action.
If more of us could just take time out and look at life and see how valuable but also how short it is then talking about other people's gossip mis judging other people would start becoming less important.
We choose what comes out of our mouths. we may not have the choice of what enters our head but we all have the ability to stop and think whether we allow our conversations and mindset to carry on been addicted to negativity that aggravates us and quite frankly if we are all honest is a complete waste of life.
I say it's conditioning of the environment that you allow yourself to be in and maybe as humans we need to recondition our minds and start seeing that there is actually MORE GOOD in this world Than More Evil....
Just a passing thought. What do you think?
This post really reminds me of the FOLLOW THE HERD mentality whether it be in a positive or negative way .I am a real believer of positivity to help in life even if life holds me back a little more than I would like it to.
There are many self help books that promote the positive power way of thinking to become more successful in life & just to be less negative in life in general.One of the most renowned being THINK & GROW RICH BY NAPOLEON HILL In the past can you remember seeing films or t.v. shows where the person in the story is needing a life or death surgery operation or a disease is discovered & when they are going into surgery The hospital staff are heard saying to the relatives he/she needs to be positive /strong minded .
All it takes is pre-conditioning our own minds to be more positive minded by giving ourselves positive self -talk once or even twice a day if possible .
I believe in the power of LOA. LOA stands for Law of Attraction.
What is Law of Attraction?
What we think about the most we attract more of. So for instance. If you are a negative person that only sees the dark side of life, then you will attract darkness. If you are an optimist that sees every day as an opportunity then you will find opportunity.
I do however understand how people can start thinking negatively about the world. Perhaps someone has had a run of bad luck and try as they may they cannot see the silver linings in the clouds, the light at the end of the tunnel appears to be non-existent and when they boldly take the road less traveled they end up at a dead end.
We are all susceptible to getting lured down the dark alley of negativity but there are ways to break the cycle. One is to wear a rubber band on your arm and snap it everytime you have a negative thought. This will cause self-awareness. Most negative people have no idea how they project themselves onto the world.
You're right on target here and you are correct it's very draining for sure especially when someone is too lazy (or uninspired) to do anything about it
