Keeping hold of Positivity

We often talk ourselves down, I'm no good, I look awful and can't do that - I think we all do from time to time.  If we're feeling low this is the worse thing we can do, as we just end up in a vicious circle that we cannot escape and if we're not careful, we end up feeling totally deflated!  When we are feeling negative it's always useful to try and focus on our blessings and the things we do have in our lives.

It's really great when we meet people who influence us in a positive way; they make us laugh and bring out the best in us.  It is so important in life that we stay around those things that are good for us and be around people who provide a positive influence on our lives.  This is because right and wrong, positive and negative, can swing within us very easily; we can be influenced either way.  

To have a positive, good life....keep positive things and people near to you!  If something or someone is effecting you negatively and is bringing out the worst in you, may be it's time to let it or them go.  It's a posing question but are we also a positive person for others to be around?  I love this quote, "don't be a drain be a fountain".

I realise some of us are going through difficult stressful times and it is in those times we need to keep hold of those positive things and friends who will lift us up again.  It is then when I'm also reminded of this quote "we can't always wait for the storm to pass we have to learn to dance in the rain".  

Keep thinking on the good things and be thankful for all your blessings - I'm sure we all have more than we think if we look hard enough.

Biblical principle taken from Phil 4 v 8 - Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.
