Positive

 In our lives whether we are dealing with things or helping others in their lives or doing both it is important to be positive. We have all at one degree or another deal with negativity.

One of the big obstacles with negativity is rejection. We may have dealt with rejection over the years however it pops up once in a while. This is where being positive comes up. When we are rejected now we have to think how we are going to deal with it. Are we going to be negative and get angry or be positive thinking the best of our self. I hope to land on the positive side though that doesn’t always work. We have accept the fact that not everyone is going to like us and they will lash out with rejection. Usually those who lash out with rejection have a problem with rejection themselves. They may be dealing with it currently or it is the only way they know how to act out on their own.

Where rejection hurts the most is when the person is real close to us whether a close family member or a best friend. When this happens we should not respond back in anger. I know that it is not an easy thing to do because we all have buttons that will be pushed with rejection. The question is what we do next. I am not sure I have the answer because I am not an expert however walking away without a response is the right thing to do.

If you are one that rejects others easily it is a good idea to think positive about others. I believe you reject others easily because you have been rejected yourself. So when you go up to someone that you may not like very well think of them in a positive way. Go through your mind what is good about them even though you don’t like them. You may never be best friends but enjoy them when you are with them. Having a positive outlook is much better than thinking negative most of the time. I am not saying it will be easy because it will likely be hard however life will be much easier to deal with.

I know that there are other areas to deal with besides rejection that can turn into being positive but this is a good place to start. Remember to that being positive is a choice we can make. Peace and have a wonderful weekend.
