Welcome back. I am glad you decided to stop by and rest. I have been fired up by something tonight. While I was eating my dinner, I watched some of the evening news. As I listened and watched, something in side of me began to stir. I found myself becoming uncomfortable. I had to step back and examine why I was uncomfortable. And then it dawned on me. I was being fed a message that promoted fear and contempt through negativity. One report after another would point out what was wrong. No solutions were given. No hope involved. As I owned my discomfort, I decided to turn off the source of negative reports.
My intent through sharing the above experience is not to cast any dispersion on those who bring the nightly news. Instead, I use my experience for illustrative purposes. In my experience, reality has shown that negativity seeks to undermine all that is good. Pessimism drains the creative capacity from each individual by sowing seeds of doubt. Doubt promotes fear, which in turn spreads like a cancer. The cancer of doubt replicates itself through the exposure to negative thinking. Slowly, our creative capacity becomes limited by a fear of failure.
As I listened to the new, I was reminded that I need to limit my exposure to negative people and negative sources of information.
Today’s Thought
As an empowered being, my creative energy will increase as I focus on positive solutions. Cynicism and pessimism will fade away. I will see my life through the eyes of abundance. I will pursue excellence because the fear of failure no longer interferes with my progress. Positive energy will direct my decisions. I will be rejuvenated because I trust in the process. Negative pretense will no longer hold me back or keep me down. I will experience all that is good. My life will bear much fruit, because I know that I am not limited. I will be empowered.
