The news comes from many directions, and depending on your sources, it can also include an overwhelming amount of negative information. Unfortunately, all this information does is fill us with reasons for concern and create anxiety for elements we have little control over.
The same applies to people who enjoy discussing topics of controversy while knowing they have no intent to effect change and look to create angst among others, as a form of personal gratification.
Even worse is the person who says you should not be doing something because of their fear, not necessarily of you failing but instead in fear of your potential success. Those naysayers are rivaled by those who tell you that you’re not capable of attaining the goals you set. Who are they to decide your best outcome and judge what you are capable of?
Creating negative information and spreading it is simpler than being optimistic or creating positive change. The positive requires tenacity and action, while the negative requires words and a desire to see little progress or growth.
We can silence the negatives by tuning them out or by mere avoidance, and even better if we eliminate them from our daily routines permitting us to focus on the good and what is best for us.
