focus on the positive

  Too many times I find myself focusing on all of the negative aspects in life.  I focus on all the negative things said and done.  So much energy is spent on the negative, and why do we do it?  The positive is so much better.  There is encouragement and hope from the positive side.  I have found that for every negative thing said towards me there are at least ten positive things said about me to take that place.  

   It would feel so great to dispose of all the negative energy completely, but I don't think that's 100% realistic.  There will always be a nasty something following you around and tugging at your heart strings, but really it's the classic battle of mind over matter.  I am an optimist so stay with me when I say there are still good things in life.  Think about all the great foods you haven't tasted, the magnificent sights to see, songs to hear, creatures to love, and people to help.  Fill your lives with positive thoughts...trust me it feels so much better.
