"The
more you use your inner strength,
the more it will grow. It is only
your fear of darkness that makes
you stumble."

 You
may not think when we
speak of negativity
that it affects you.
You may say to yourself,
"I'm not a negative
person; I try to be
a positive person. It's
just that things just
seem to go wrong through
no particular fault
of my own and I don't
understand why. It's
other people."
But
all of this happens
because negativity is
affecting you.
You just don't realize
it. You don't see it
coming and you don't
know how to fight it
head-on before it gains
the upper-hand. You
see, you have the know-how
to combat it, but first,
you have to be able
to identify it.
Negativity
comes in so many forms
and guises and we are
going to try to highlight
as many ordinary situations
you may come into contact
with so you may get
an idea of exactly what
we mean.
See
if you recognize any
of these:

You
feel life is unfair?
That it's okay
for everyone else
because they're
not like you.
That the world
is doomed and
full of evil so
what's the point.
You feel that
you're not good
enough.
That something
terrible is going
to happen.
That you need
people to like
you to make you
feel worthy.
That you hold
yourself back
because you feel
you will make
a mistake.
That you have
good intentions
for growth or
change, but always
change your mind.

Do
you ever think:
I am useless.
I always fail.
I am not like others.
I don't deserve
to be happy.
I always
fail because that's
the way I am.
I am not strong
like other people. |

Do
you feel lethargic and bored
with your life?
Are you always getting ailments
or diseases?
Are you always tired?
Do you need alcohol or drugs
to make you happy?
Do you feel insecure in relationships?
Do you feel unloved? |
Do
you feel insecure and trapped?
Do you hate your self image?
Do you follow others who think
you are successful?
Do you look to see who you want
to be by watching others?
Do you feel like you aren't
connecting with your journey
of life?
Do you feel depressed, suicidal
even? |
|
The
list is endless.
You
see, you may not have realized that any
of these emotional states of being can
be caused first and foremost by negativity.
You may put these symptoms into boxes
of their own, such as depression, paranoia,
addiction, obsession, low self-esteem,
lack of confidence, insecurity etc., but
not have actually pinpointed the cause,
because maybe nothing overwhelmingly awful
had happened to you to bring it on.
Maybe something has and then it
is obvious, but we must deal with the
more subtle and less apparent reasons
for clarity.
Negativity
is like a drug in itself, except it's
infectious as well as addictive. The more
you come into contact with it the more
it becomes entrenched into your personality
without you realizing it. The bright and
cheery person you used to be can become
a distant memory and true happiness can
seem to be unachievable ever again.
It
is because the more negativity you have,
the more you get, because it is like a
magnet. It attracts more to itself. It
is self-perpetuating energy.
But, the good news is that negativity
is only able to exist if you give it your
attention. If you don't feed it and give
it strength by succumbing to the effects,
it can get nothing from you and it goes
away. And in our books we explain how
you may achieve this.
