Yesterday I told how nice it is when someone has a positive attitude in life. A big question is how you can stay positive when you are surrounded by so many people with negative thoughts. When everybody tells you that what you plan is not possible, that what you do will not be successful and that they themselves don’t see any future in it, then how can you stay positive about it? You imagine this situation: you wake up on a Saturday morning and have an idea, a plan to go somewhere, maybe to a nice park. Full of joy you go and tell your friends about it but soon you see that they are not as happy with this idea as you are. One asks if the weather will stay nice during the day and takes a doubting look to the sky.
Another one says that it is already too late, there are too many other things that have to be done. A third opinion is, that you never get any parking place there and what do you do then? And with each of these comments you feel how your energy level sinks. Your joy and happiness is gone and suddenly you think it actually was a pretty stupid idea. This can happen with anything, if it is at work or in your private life, there can be many people who, consciously or not, can try to create fear inside you. It can make you feel bad and negative in seconds even though you were full of positivity before. In this kind of situation you have to be more self-confident because this negativity that you feel actually comes from outside.
It is not yours, not coming from you. It comes towards you but you can decide not to let it have any effect on you. Be confident and your confidence will create an aura which will protect you from this negativity. This self-confidence also comes from positivity and trust. Those who produce the negativity do not have much trust but live a rather doubtful life. They do not have confidence that it will be good and that they themselves can succeed. That is why they are producing all this negative energy. But you can develop your consciousness in a positive way. It is a process which will improve your confidence and will fill you with positivity.
Today I had many healing sessions. Some of the people were new, others had been to healing sessions with me many times already. It was nice to see that their positivity grew and they were very happy after the session. This is what I want to do, I remove this negative energy and the healing strengthens their positivity.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is just get space from others who are being negative. If you can't change their minds to be positive, don't let them change yours to be negative! Just spend some time alone, remembering your positive thoughts and come back to them later. You can't force them to feel better...they have to choose for themselves.

I have found before, after examining myself, that I am kind of programmed to be negative. Now that I am more conscious of myself I realize that I say things that make people begin to feel uncertain, maybe it is so I look like I know what's going on better than everyone else or because I just have no faith. But It's something that should be fixed. Making people doubt is uncalled for.

You know, even if you lack the confidence and support you should keep doing what you love anyway, so maybe it won't work out, who knows? Normally if you try to do something you love and it doesn't work it will just lead you to something you love more. So keep on going- even if it doesn't make sense or the support's not there.

I decided when I was very young that I wanted to be an artist and my parents said I needed to learn to do something practical, and my friends also began saying this as I got older, even people who hadn't seen my art said this. I did stop painting for a few years, but then I became stronger and decided to just do it anyway. I'm not famous or anything, most people even in my local community have never heard of me, but I paint and people buy my paintings. It is an uncertain line of work but I do sell enough to live. Also if I hadn't kept painting I would never have met other in the artist community and would probably still feel like an oddball. Glad I stuck to it.

If you need a break from what feels like someone's toxicity, take a break. It is fine to walk away no matter your relation. When you feel at peace, it is a good time to talk things through. Come together sharing a goal of reaching peace together and feeling compassion for one another. It can help, if you find a lot of anger or hurt in yourself to describe this to the person you are speaking without attaching a story to your feelings. Together you can figure out what words or thoughts awaken pain in you. Be careful to notice when you don't want peace. This can happen when your pain is speaking for you and when you cannot dis-identify with an emotion in you.

Bookish knowledge only creates confusion
SourceGod lives in the heart and can come wherever you want. Temples and religious buildings are the centers of the business of religion where they see religious people as cows and milk them for money and donations, even by selling tickets. The more money you have, the quicker you can see God and the more blessings you get.
SourceEverybody is spiritual in his own way. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church or are not sure about god, you are spiritual if you believe in love.
SourceScare your fear away by being alive.
SourceNot afraid of anyone but God' means being afraid of everything!
SourceIf God is almighty, if God has a big plan according to which things happen in this world, why doesn’t he just make peace on the planet, feed everyone, finish diseases, take out violence of people and give everyone enough knowledge and brain so that the human race could survive happily and in love without overcrowding the planet or destroying it?
SourceIf you have a continued physical relation, the emotional relation will naturally develop by itself.
SourceSilence is very necessary. It is a jewel of life. Most of our energy is consumed by talking. Be silent and save it.
SourceTrue friends stay when your philosophy and belief change.
SourceGoing to the temple or to church regularly does not make you religious. You are religious when you have compassion in your heart for helping others, when you wish them well and give your effort to make this wish come true.
SourceNever give your partner the feeling he is unwanted or not needed. In love it is necessary that you have the feeling the other one wants you. You will have the pride that you are worth something to the other one.
SourceYou cannot tell someone to love but you can be proud of your own love. Love your feelings, love and celebrate your love. You have to love yourself and be proud of the love that you can give to others. Never stop loving yourself in this frustration. At the right time you will meet the right person, there is nothing wrong with you and you don’t need to try stopping your love. Don’t create any guilt. Your love is great.
SourceNegative people are not bothered by negativity because they are already full of negativity. Negativity more strongly affects positive people, trying to make them negative, too.
SourceLove never really finishes but respect can finish easily. Don’t let this happen!
SourceDiscipline is very important in our nutrition. Eat when you are hungry. Hunger can be in the eyes and in the mind, too, not only in your belly. Learn to distinguish that.
SourceIf you did a mistake, the first part of the solution is already that you realize it and then accept it. Don't try to find an excuse but turn around and walk the other way. Simply, honestly accept that you made a mistake and for the future commit to live an honest life which doesn’t cause pain for others and later for yourself.
SourceMen wrote the scriptures saying that women should grieve forever once they are dead. For themselves there is no such rule. They would not have put anything in the scriptures that would cause them a disadvantage!
SourceSuperstitious people let superstition rule their complete lives! The funny thing is that they won’t even notice while a non-believer watching them will think they have completely lost their minds!
SourceYour body is not the reason for a man's cheating. If he loved you before, why should this change only because your looks changed?
SourceWhat is wrong is wrong and if you have seen wrong, you have to speak out against it, keep your loved ones from doing it and make clear that you oppose it.
