As we enter the new year, we'll see an increase in social media posts promising to get rid of negativity and drama in their lives.
That's backward.
Would you start building your dream house by focusing on all the houses you don't like? Would you research building materials and plans that you don't want to use? Would you chose a location that is not for sale and the seller won't consider selling?
If you want negativity and drama out of your life, don't be negative and don't be dramatic.
We may not like or understand what another person is doing, but we don't need to be equally negative and dramatic in response. We all create a certain energy and that energy attracts a certain energy.
We receive more of what we are creating.
Turn your attention toward the positive. Focus on the examples of excellence that inspire you to be better. Think positivity and gratitude. Speak positivity and gratitude. Build your dream house.
The "negative" people in your life will either get on board or grow weary of your not feeding their negativity.
You can stand cursing the ruble of the house you don't want, or you can set about building what you do want. Where you direct your attention makes the difference.
