Negativity two thumbs down!!

Have you come across people in your circle or path that are just plain ole negative?  They may be subtle in their comments, but bottom line its negativity.  You often find yourself justifying what you just said or why you just acted in a certain manner.  What is the point of it all?  We are all adults and have the common knowledge of how to act and what we need to do.  Now, correction is different and I am not talking or referring to that.  Negative people have a way of making your great day go south and sometimes way south.  I reflected to the Ally McBeal Show and I found myself sometimes wanting to stop the scene and reenact what I wanted to happen.  Oftentimes, I envisioned myself just smacking them across the face or just yelling, 'would you just shut up!' then I returned to reality with a smile on my face.  They are then standing there dumbfounded and asked me, 'what's funny?'  ‘Oh, nothing’ I replied.  How funny that exchange was! 

Have you realized how negativity can affect more than just you?  It affects your decisions, the direction of your day and what you will receive in return.  Well just like it’s a new year and you have vowed to do differently concerning some things, declare today that getting away from negative people is now on your list.  I tweeted this just the other day, ‘just because something didn’t work out for the next guy/gal doesn’t mean it disqualifies you from succeeding!’ So go for it, let the nay sayers continue on their path.  You just make sure you take another route away from them.  I realized that negative people will always have something bad to say no matter what stage of life you are in or what you do, be it good, bad or indifferent. 
Stay focused and positive you will see the best in the end and you will experience snapshots along the way.  Remember, to stop and take a mental picture you will need to reflect on it again during a not so good time.  So when you spot someone negative coming your way, get your mind prepared and guarded if you are unable to avoid them and be ready.  Say to yourself, ‘I don’t receive this negativity.  If you only knew, my future is so bright you should be wearing shades!’  Now that will keep a smile on your face during the entire exchange with them.  Remember, negativity can only flourish if you feed it! We will give negativity our stamp of disapproval with two thumbs down!
