Friendship

Friendship 

When someone tells me "no," it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them. 

People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action. 

7 things negative people will do to you. They will ... 

1. Demean (Put down) your value; 

2. Destroy your image 

3. Drive you crazily! 

4. Dispose your dreams! 

5. Discredit your imagination! 

6. Deframe your abilities and 

7. Disbelieve your opinions! 

Stay away from negative people! 

There is a magnificent, beautiful, wonderful painting in front of you! It is intricate, detailed, a painstaking labor of devotion and love! The colors are like no other, they swim and leap, they trickle and embellish! And yet you choose to fixate your eyes on the small fly which has landed on it! Why do you do such a thing? 

See if you can catch yourself complaining, in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness. 

Buy a gift for a dog, and you'll be amazed at the way it will dance and swerve its tail, but if don't have anything to offer to it, it won't even recognize your arrival; such are the attributes of fake friends. 

I usually know almost exactly how I feel. The problem is, I just can't tell anyone. 

Those who pray for your downfall are concentrating negative thoughts towards you, without taking cognizance of the slippery ground in which they are standing, which could lead to their downfall. 

Constantly exposing yourself to popular culture and the mass media will ultimately shape your reality tunnel in ways that are not necessarily conducive to achieving your Soul Purpose and Life Calling. Modern society has generally ‘lost the plot’. Slavishly following its false gods and idols makes no sense in a spiritually aware life. 

Relationships with negative people are simply tedious encounters with porcupines (The porcupine symbolism teaches you to face your weaknesses and vulnerabilities head-on, and to do what you must to protect yourself from anything or anyone that wishes you harm). You don’t have the remote knowledge how to be close to them without quills being shot in your direction. 

Seeing the glass as half empty is more positive than seeing it as half full. Through such a lens the only choice is to pour more. That is righteous pessimism. 

Never judge someone's character based on the words of another. Instead, study the motives behind the words of the person casting the bad judgment. 

Try giving up all the thoughts that make you feel bad, or even just some of them, and see how doing that changes your life. You don't need negative thoughts. All they have ever given you was a false self that suffers. They are all lies. 

It would be easy to become a victim of our circumstances and continue feeling sad, scared or angry; or instead, we could choose to deal with injustice humanely and break the chains of negative thoughts and energies, and not let ourselves sink into it. 

Some people are in such utter darkness that they will burn you just to see a light. Try not to take it personally. 

Negative people can only infest you with discouragements when they find you around... Just get lost and get saved! 

No matter how valuable you are and your ideas, fools will certainly play both of you down, so exclude yourselves from the inflammatory environs of fools. 

When we are aware of our weaknesses or negative tendencies, we open the opportunity to work on them. 

Beware of those who criticize you when you deserve some praise for an achievement, for it is they who secretly desire to be worshiped. 

He who searches for evil, must first look at his own reflection. 

It is better to dwell on the beautiful things in life than the negative. 

Revolution doesn't have to do with smashing something; it has to do with bringing something forth. If you spend all your time thinking about that which you are attacking, then you are negatively bound to it. You have to find the zeal in yourself and bring that out. 

It is ironic that constructive thinkers are often misunderstood as negative, as they differ from those longing for positivity: constructive thinkers have been conditioned to find positive in negative rather than suffering from the negative in negative. Or as Paul the Apostle wrote, 'I have learned the secret to contentment in any and every circumstance.' He was right. Indeed the Lord is our strength, especially under the commandment to love one another. Otherwise we are nothing and easily thrown about by both our own and other people's mind control in a painful, mental, physical desperation to run from every thought, everything, and every one not seeming so positive or immediately beneficial to us. 

Don't ever let someone tell you the value you don't have, in order to be in someone's life. That is often the value they feel you have, not that person. 

I think that there are excellent and poor thinking habits just as there are healthy and unhealthy eating habits; and when a man really knows how to think, you cannot necessarily assert that he thinks too much in a strictly negative connotation. Perhaps this is in a sense food for thought, whereas the other is fool for thought.
