DEFENDING AGAINST NEGATIVITY It’s interesting to sit back and observe negativity in action. When one person complains and is unhappy about something, the person they’re complaining to often jumps right onto the bandwagon and shares his or her complaints and unhappy thoughts as well. This creates a negative energy and negative energy can spread. Negativity perpetuates itself, breeds dissatisfaction and clutters the mind. And when the mind is cluttered with negativity, happiness is much harder to come by. They say it only takes one candle to light up a dark room. In my experience, it’s a lot easier and much more gratifying to be the light. When I’m faced with negativity, my automatic response is to get right in there and feed off of it. My only way of escape is to remove myself from the situation, even if it’s a momentary bathroom break so I can reflect on the bigger picture. The bigger picture for me is that life is good. Life is what I make of it by my attitude. I’m not in charge and I don’t call the shots. Remaining grateful for what I do have and accepting what I might not consider to be perfect circumstances is the best way for me to defend myself against negativity. -JS
