It's so easy to look around and notice what's wrong.
It takes practice to see what's right.
Many of us have lived around negativity for years. We've become skilled at labeling what's wrong with other people, our life, our work, our day, our relationships, our conduct, our recovery, and ourselves.
We want to be realistic, and our goal is to identify and accept reality. However, this is often not our intent when we practice negativity. The purpose of negativity is usually annihilation.
Negative thinking empowers the problem. It takes us out of harmony. Negative energy sabotages and destroys. It has a powerful life of its own.
So does positive energy. Each day, we can ask what's right, what's good - about other people, our life, our work, our day, our relationships, ourselves, our conduct, our recovery.
Positive energy heals, conducts love, and transforms. Choose positive energy.
Today, God help me let go of negativity. Transform my beliefs and thinking, at the core, from negative to positive. Put me in harmony with the good.
From The Language of Letting Go

I find this to be sooo true! When I feel negative or have bad thoughts of others, seems things have a way of being negative all day! Keeping a positive attitude makes things go alot smoother! I think I even feel better when I have happy thoughts!!! Lani

I'm so good at that. Lately, when I'm about to make a negative comment about something that another human did, I just say "that's what they do" and acceptance instantly appears. It's sorta a spin on what Dale Carnaige said, "It is and it can't be otherwise".
Thanks for posting that Carole. I also printed it.
