How much of what you choose to listen to involves negativity? No, really… How much of what you choose to listen to and allow into your mind, via whatever media, is based in negativity?
 
How much negativity do you put out to the world? No, really… How much negativity do you broadcast out to the world via what you say, what you do, or what you create is based upon negativity?
 
The fact of life is, you can choose to be negative, or you can choose to be positive. If you choose to be negativity, no matter what your motivation, what are you creating?   Answer: Negativity.
 
If, on the other hand, you choose to be positive, what are you creating? Answer: Positivity.
 
Negativity can be unleashed via many methods. Some are very obvious: yelling, screaming, criticizing, demeaning, stealing, or physically hurting. Others are more sublet; perhaps in the form of making jokes. But, at the end of whatever is done, if it is done to hurt or damage the life of any individual, then it creates one thing; negativity. 
 
Seriously, how much negativity do you take in? And, how much negativity do you unleash?
 
It seems that politics creates a spark-point for a lot of negativity. Certainly, at this point in world history, there are a lot of people disliking what is going on due to the politics that surrounds them. Putin and his war on Ukraine has not only taken the lives of so many people, but has destroyed the life of a lot more. What was instigated by the attack on Israel by Hamas, which has led to Israel’s scorched-earth policy towards Hamas, has killed and destroyed the life of so many people. Both of these situations are still going on as I write this, with no clearcut end in sight. It’s wrong! Yet, it goes on. It was all instigated by negativity and it continues to unleash more and more negativity.
 
Here in the States, a lot of people seem to dislike our current president. Yes, a lot of people love him, as well. Or, he would not have been elected for a second time. But, due to all the hate, a lot of negativity is being created and unleashed. It seems that every day I get some Trump Hater in my feeds, posting hurtful things. But, does that make anything any better? No. Moreover, he is the elected president of this country; love him or hate him, that is the fact. You may wish him to not be the president. But, he is our president. If you have any patriotism, you must support our duly elected president, until you have the opportunity to elect the next one.
 
From a personal perspective, I know I did not like many of the policies of, “W,” the second Bush administration. But then, 911 happened. And, it brought this country together against a common enemy. What did that common enemy do, killed a lot of innocent people. What is that? Negativity, in its purist form. And, love our hate our president at that point in history, we all had to come together against pure negativity.
 
What I am suggesting here is, stop it! Stop the negativity at its source which is you. Negativity can be small or it can be very large, but the truth of negativity is that it is based upon one thing, hurtful thoughts, words, and actions.
 
You are the one who takes it in, and you are the one who puts it out there. Meaning, you are the one who can stop it.
 
At the end of the day, negativity never helps anything. If you partake of it, if you unleash it, all you are doing is hurting the world around you. Again: Stop it! Be the source of positivity. Catch negativity in is tracks and do not let it spread.  
 
Be Positive!
