Self Inflicted Negativity

June 18, 2023

It’s positive to accept the sometimes mysterious god as a director of your life! What if ‘that God’ has a different existence than you’ve been told? What can you lose?! Just don’t be attached to being negative about your negativity! There’s a saying, ‘stay out of harm’s way’. Also prudent, I suggest staying out of ‘negative’s way too’. Impossible 24/7, but stay away by using discernment for the best way to deal with whatever comes up that could be avoided rather than be drawn into it. Yet negative, whether it’s in the mind, heart, or both is sometimes a blessing that we can feel emotions, and hopefully as an experience to deepen an appreciation to feel and be alive to experience what can be learned from a happening on some level.

Biting your tongue and attitude can be a challenge especially if it’s been imprinted in one’s everyday life by bad habits that likely are not ever changing. Negativity is most often ‘self inflicted’. People become friends, or better said ‘frenemies’ with their negativity, and rain on others parades with ‘showers to thunderstorms’. The overly negative type usually ‘initiates’ negativity, and often gets it returned, ignoring that if they used ‘caution’ with their exchanges and opted for a more positive ‘initiating’ exchange, they wouldn’t have been returned the same.

Don’t get behind the ‘8 ball’ with negativity that can be avoided, especially by being stupid, negative, and lacking empathy or compassion for the other. Be protective of your positive side and look to always use it to deal with lies that ultimately ricochets in karma. Love will find a way, but don’t get the negative mind 

blocking every attempt that love makes. Spending too much time paying attention to what’s going around you is an addiction to the outer while ignoring the inner clearing of space to let the real you enjoy yourself… then, to be a light onto others especially who could use more inspiration. 

Are you missing your real self? It’s time to run up to yourself. Take a mental bath when the mind get foul, or you will cause someone else to have to! Accept your outer self and be heartwarmingly mindful that the hidden inner self is eager to express love and not locked in your dark heart closet. As I have gone on through life, I noticed that all of my happy and successful friends freely admitted when they made mistakes and rarely disparaged others. On the other hand, my friends whose lives were perpetually a mess, tended to do the opposite and in some cases, I had dear friends who made these mistakes for decades. Yet, regardless of how bad things went for them or how close we were, rarely would they be open to receiving feedback that required them to take ownership of their situation instead of blaming others for their bad luck. Remember when problems come up, the problem might be you! Wouldn’t it just be better if everybody might agree to take time to love that inner energy called love, more?!!
