How to Banish Negatives From Your Life

What is a negative? To begin with it is something that drains away spiritual power. It involves fiction, lies, anger, deceit, violence, fear and a myriad of other things that bring on mood changes, depression, and a feeling of worthlessness. Negative thoughts are always present when allowed and they change good things into bad. Feeling defeated by an inability to change things when they go wrong is one of the outcomes.

Other negatives that impact on one's life include clutter, alcohol, entertainment, the wrong friends, and also not having anyone to talk things out with. Loneliness, loss of hope, and low self-esteem will all quickly mount up to a major disaster if one is prepared to allow that to happen.

We often hear how a killer was a 'loner' and many criminals start out in this way. They are also anti-social when they try to hide their crimes. These are definitely not the ones to have around.

To overcome these negative forces is a simple matter of reversing them. While that sounds simple it is not always possible and that's where extra strategies and self-discipline are required. To begin with aim to restore the spirituality within. That is the wonderful feeling one gets when things are on track and when your insides ring with good health and a feeling of accomplishment.

As a spiritual person with memory of my reincarnation there are many times when I have had to push negativity aside, even from my own family. Being accused of being 'off the planet' and having them avoid me for one reason or another would be hard to take if it not for the Spirit within that leads and guides me.

Connecting with the Spirit means it is always a friend so one is never lonely. Because it builds confidence and steers its own onto the tight track one is able to overcome opposition because there is nothing that can hurt you. Those who criticise and condemn because they don't understand are nothing in God's eyes so why should they be a worry to someone who is shedding negative forces?

As the Spirit within grows stronger it even speaks to you. One's love for others increases and greater respect for the world is prominent. We are obviously witnesses great changes to the earth and world peace and it was predicted that certain things will happen before the last days. It is my opinion that we have entered that time and that those who seek answers will find them when they abandon the negative forces of the world.

Do You Eliminate the Positives or the Negatives?

If there's one thing I know well, it's that life is good and always getting better. IF you let it. A business associate once told me, 'This is the worst it will ever be. It only gets better and better!' That is an empowering belief!

The pessimists (and the close-minded) will say 'How awful! You're doing so bad it can't get any worse!' Well, OK. One of my friends actually believes it CAN get worse, no matter what. He is thankful for what he has, which he should be, but mainly because 'it could be worse.'

Why is the first statement good and the second bad?

It's relative. The first statement assumes two things: 1. the past is the past and doesn't equal the future and 2. It will ALWAYS get better than it is now.

The second statement assumes 2 things as well: 1. It is a struggle to get and keep what you have and 2. Things are more likely to get worse than better. If not, why the focus on what could happen?

Your outlook on life determines so much. It is your filter.

Do you know what a filter is?

A filter eliminates undesired particles and things from whatever is poured through it. Its entire purpose is to purify what is poured. A filter lets in what is good and pure through while keeping out the unwanted.

We use filters all the time in life. We filter our coffee. An internet search is a filter. We use content filters to keep explicit images away from our kids' computers. The whole idea is to protect, whether coffee, our kids or just our time and experiences.

We also have mental filters. We view the world through these filters and it applies preconceived notions and ideas to what we see, hear, experience and do. If we believe that getting fired is a bad thing (which it certainly can be for most), that is how we will experience it.

But think about this. Several years ago, I was let go from a job. It was a job I hated because of my boss and the environment there. My doctor was encouraging me to leave the job for health reasons. My wife wanted me to leave for happier shores. Not long after being let go, I saw my doctor and she commented how much happier I seemed, even though I was still unemployed.

Getting let go was the best thing that could have happened to my health. We didn't starve or get kicked out of our home. It was actually a positive.

What is a devastating event for one person can be an uplifting, positive event for someone else? It all depends on their filter.

What kind of filter do you have?

Do you eliminate the positives or the negatives?
