LIVING LIFE

Who are we? Do we know ourselves yet? Do we follow the crowd or make our own path?

We all have friends who are MOSTLY negative. They are pessimistic, cynical, and gloomy. They are the “cup is half empty” kind of people. Living life is all about taking chances, being happy, and living each day to the fullest unless of course it’s a lazy day.

This quote provided by searchquotes.com is a great example of what kind of people live in this world. We all have to get back up and dust ourselves off when someone knocks us down because there are many types of people in this world. In this world, negativity is all around us. People will say bad things about you, lie to you, cheat on you and make you feel bad about yourself.

No matter what happens in your life, never let bad people stop you from living your life. For all the people that leave and betray you, there will still be a handful that will be there to the end. We have all experienced the notion of “conformity”. We change ourselves to better suit a particular group, appease particular people and essentially “follow the crowd”.

Life is a gift! We should be thankful for what we have and appreciate the fact we are able  to do so many things. Don’t focus on the negative in life. They will constantly always be there, but you have a choice on whether to live life thinking the glass is “half-full” or “half-empty”?

No matter how much we deny this, we are influenced by the people surrounding us. Having good people around you will help you get rid of a negative headspace. However, don’t forget we are humans and make mistakes.  I have composed a way to eliminate negative people from your life to help in the process of seeing the world from a negative perspective.

1.   Get rid of people who are constantly complaining and expressing negative thoughts from Facebook, Twitter etc.

2.   Be honest to other people and tell them to stop if they are beginning to act negative

3.   Ignore negativity. Walk away if people start having a discussion about how bad work is or school

4.   If someone is being negativity around you, remember you don’t have to be negative as well.

5.   Acknowledge the positives in your life not always the negatives

JUST BE YOU BOO!! J
