Staying Young

When you think negative, it can affect your mind and your spirit.  Everyone in their lifetime has either said or thought something that did not line up with anything positive in their life.  It seems as though people spend more time in pessimism than they do in optimism. 

Some people tend to make negative thinking a part of their daily lives.  There are obstacles that seem to block us from what we want to do.  Instead of pushing those obstacles out of the way, some people find it easier to complain.  They don’t realize that it won’t help the situation.  They will still be stuck in the same place with no movement. 

You will continue to be stuck in the same place if you are a constant complainer.  Everytime you complain, you take away a moment of happiness and fulfillment that you could have.  Plus, other people don’t care to be around chronic complainers. 

Think about what you are saying when you do that.  You could be using your time doing things that will uplift you and keep you active.  Before you know it, you’ll be so involved in what you’re doing you won’t even think about complaining anymore.

When you think negatively, you want everyone else to think the same way.  People that think negatively often have imbedded bitterness because of things that happened to them in the past.

They never got over the situation; it may have been from being passed over for a promotion; a boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse leaving them; or feeling rejected from a parent when they were little.  Any of those scenarios can still up feelings of bitterness. 

Or they can be jealous of someone else that is doing better than them in things like losing weight, making more money or just being happy.  They can’t stand to see the other person happy and they continue to ingrain bitterness inside of their soul.    

Bitterness can take a toll on a person’s health.  It can cause them to have wrinkles and create health issues, such as high blood pressure or cancer.  If you need help releasing these bitter tendencies, it’s best to seek counsel from a family member, therapist or minister.  Otherwise you will look old before your time.
