No negativity
I'm going off the beaten path a bit here today, but I think you'll be able
to relate.
Fear, negativity and/or a "scarcity" mindset are
things we must address on a daily basis. Here are two of my favorite quotes
about negativity:
~ From the backstabbing co-worker to the
meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people
and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your
life, or you can choose happiness instead.
Take control and choose
to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully
often become destroyers of life. ~
- Anais Nin
~ Negativity sucks away
energy. If part of the negativity stems from your attitude or perspective,
commit yourself at the beginning of each day and each activity to find
something positive in...
