Negative Much?

Just because you speak on something that is happening, does not mean you are dwelling. Just because you acknowledge a situation does not mean you are negative. I have been pounded lately with the label of "Negative". Keeping your head in the sand does not make you a positive person. It makes you delusional.

I have spent the past two years studying and learning about the positive mindset. I have learned all about the power of persuasion. I've studied the law of attraction. I have worked hard to live by the principles of all of these things. I believe I do a pretty good job at walking the walk. I admit that I am a flawed human being and fall off the wagon from time to time but I always bounce back and get back on the wagon. This is a process that does not happen over night when you were not talk these concepts as a child.

Life has not always been good to me and those scars all deeply embedded but I continue to fight against them, until the day comes that I have conquered them. I will conquer them. Here is the thing to remember: Life happens to everyone. Pretending that it doesn't is just plain stupid. As humans we need to acknowledge what happens and deal with it. When you throw a happy face on it you just mask it. Sooner or later it will come back to haunt you. Trust me I know. What you want to do is acknowledge your life issues and then choose to take the position that it will be handled. That is how you stay positive and live a positive lifestyle. Do not put your head in the sand and pretend that the bank isn't going to foreclose on your house. Acknowledge that you have been warned and then dig your heels deep in the faith that God, the universe, whatever you believe in is going to give you a God size prayer to get you out of your circumstances. God can do for us in an instant what would take us years to accomplish. Trust in him and his ability to get you out of your situation. Now this does not mean, sit back and say, "God take it away", and then go sit on your couch and do nothing to assist in the process. What it means is, believe truly deep down in your soul that your problems will be solved in an instant, and in a huge. Believe that it will happen in a way you did not plan, and continue to make every effort to follow God's path to get you out of your situation. Sitting on the couch could prevent you from meeting the person God had set in your path to get you out of your situation. So be proactive. While you are doing this, wake up every morning and thank The Lord for taking your problems away. Thank him for giving you the new house or the new car. Thank him for the love of your life that he picked for you and is currently sending to you. Always stay in a place of thankfulness.

If you have never been taught to quiet the negative noise that is screaming in your head and trust in your faith, keep working at it. It will get easier. Every time your head says something negative, tell your mind to stop and change the negative talk to positive talk. Your mind says, "I will never make enough money to live in that house." Tell your head to stop it and say instead, "God is shifting things around so I can live in that house. I can't wait to move in." Perception is key. Just because things bad are happening doesn't mean they will stay that way. You have to be able to acknowledge what is starring you in the face and believe in your heart and soul that it is just a detour from the fabulous blessings that are headed your way.

What do you tell yourself to keep from falling int he negative rabbit hole that we are all capable of falling into?
