Being Positive in A Negative World

Standing back and looking at things like you were a bystander definitely does work. I found that first, it usually makes the other person stop and look at you. I have tried this and I love the effects and the outcomes from doing it.

Well, with all the things going on these days with the Economy, etc. and life itself sometimes it is hard to keep positive and not let the negative grab hold of you and swallow you in. This only in turn makes one more miserable to the point you begin to wonder what is Best for you as well. Personally I find a lot of times for me just being able to keep focused, and Pray when things feel like they are at their worst and know God is in control and in time everything will be alright.

Hi Shellyann... That's great advice. I was just talking to my sister and telling her if she stops taking all those little things in life as a personal attack on you are as a person life will be much easier to live

hi shellyanne very good advice. I too had a friend here who seemed to always be thinking about the bad side of things. She used to make me feel like someone had drained all my energy from me. A nd complain, an unending tail of all the awful foods Gold Crest serves. So I started to neutalize her by saying oh yes but the eggplant Parmesan is delicious don't you agree? And the beef stew is so good, don't you think so too? It was funny how it took all her negative energy away and she was saying, oh yes and I really love their enchiladas so much.After that when she chatted with me she actually brought up some positive things.

You are right it was so hard to stay positive into the negative world or with the people around you. We are easy to be with them when they say negative we are getting irritated and we are also argue sometimes with the same manner as they do. And if we are also in the positive early morning those negative would like to be with and really hard to get them away but be better relax and do not entertain the negative. Anyway i always stay positive in this case b listening to radio avoid those people with negative thought around me trying to be alone and contnue to think positive and happy. we need to be strong to be like that the whole day before to sleep again.

Dear friend yes it is possible to make a people positive in the negative world. I shared my opinion of the life with every negative persons and then I am suggested to that person please take a be positive. I suggest to read various book also like shivkheda, swet modern etc. I faced lot of negative persons in my business and life also even my husband also think negative but I was suggest him and now they almost think positive. Negative thinking is more danger and I am always try and help the negative people to the best of my knowledge change their mind. I am got success in this task with most of the people.

thank you dear. you are so insightful. i will have to try that. im always such a negative person because its very hard when you have many painful days when you are older. but im just glad i do have some very feel good days every now and then. and it helps to hear advice like yours.

Awesome!! What I like to do is envision my perfect moment or day, and completely remove myself from my situation and go and visit my self created paradise in my mind, but what you did works wonders as well. Sincerely and With Appreciation.

There are so many negatives in this world we live in today. it can be difficult to stay positive when the negative influences are all around us. Still, it is worthwhile to keep trying. Living in the positive is so much more comforting than living in the negative.

You know, sometimes where there is negativity coming from around all sides it can be a daunting task to be positive. No matter what you try to do, to gain some positivity, there is negativity. Not only coming from all news networks, but also what is happening to people you know. Friends, family, casual acquaintances, and everyone in between, as the negativity radiates, it is extremely hard to remain really positive. Yet remaining positive is something that must be done to keep yourself sane. I try and look how this situation can be reversed. Or how close I am to reversing this situation? At times, if I make a little process on something, that helps give me some positivity. The world can be extremely negative but sometimes we just have to be that rose in an entire radioactive wasteland. Otherwise, we're going to be crushed and not be all that we can be.

Well put. We have the option as to how someone or something affects us. As you said, step back and be a bystander.

Great post, Shellyann! :D I'm impressed with your reaction! Though to be honest, I have a very boastful and rude classmate. He often bullies my other classmates as well and when he answers a correctly in any subject recitation, he'll go amok and boast around saying "Ha! I knew it! You heard that? I told you I was correct!" He goes like that and yells those words on the top of his lungs, really. Often times, if our teacher told him to not be rude or so, he would whisper to his seatmate "what a stupid teacher"... It is quite annoying and pathetic and when I encounter him, I just snob him and glares at him when he yells at me. Anyways, better yet follow your style :) I'll just pray for a better future ahead of him so he would change. Thank you for this wonderful post and God bless, -Jaja

I remember reading something about "Law of Attraction" and it say's that if you always think of negative things,it will bring negative results or outcome and if you think positively ,you will attract good things. I know it's really hard to be positive when everything is falling apart around you and things are getting worse from bad.These things teaches you lessons and makes you a stronger person. And sometimes when things aren't good ,I just close my eyes and think of my happiest moment and hold on to it, so that when I open my eyes I know things will be better,it had to be... i wanted it to be...

everyday...we will influenced by negative energy even from our self. but i will always try everyday to get those negative energy by promised with my self.. i said with my self..'what do i want? a good life, so i must choose all the positive one. every time i woke up in the morning i promise to my self to take the positive and spread it up to everything around me even i got a change to have a negative energy i will back to my promise so i will not get down,make me upset, and also everything and everyone around me....

That is a good attitude. We can still remain positive despite the negative things that surround us. Have a wonderful day.

Yes,being positive is a kind of attitude in the Negative World.Being positive is very good on doing anything.It is the good start for doing something successfully.So all of us should form the habit of being positive.

I have recently learned how to evade all forms of negativity and find that when anyone is too negative, I am getting inpatient. Almost like I can't tolerate. I do try my hardest to simply listen and be objective but after I am away from the person I am finding myself stressed out and unable to cope. It has to do with the very difficult year I have had, although I have had rough times, nothing as difficult as this has been.

Yes, it is challenging so the best way is to keep in mind the Law of Attraction and think positive. Positive energy will attract other positive energy.
