It is from our own weakness that we become overwhelmed by the negative people and things that try to consume our daily lives. As much as they tend to annoy you with their negative outlook and things you can bet you annoy them with your positive outlook every bit as much. So which should prevail? Logically the positive should prevail simply because of the positive outlook you have. You came into the battle believing that you would win. The one with the negative outlook wants to win but second-guesses their ability to do so, therefore naturally lowering the chances of success. Should those with a negative attitude get the better of you perhaps you need to re-evaluate your positive outlook on, your life. We cannot have this positive outlook without reasoning for it. It cannot just simply exist. It is this reasoning that becomes your ultimate weapon in your battle against the negative all around you. I could very well have easily let the events that consumed my life most recently destroy everything positive I ever had in my life. I would have given the negatives in my life my power and they would and could have easily overwhelmed and consumed my very existence. I have a reason for my positive outlook on life, in fact, I have many. I have my family, my daughters, my son, my mother, my grandkids, and many, many friends that believe in me and want if not need me in their lives. From this, I find the strength to face any and all adversities that come my way. I refuse to accept defeat. I will not let those with a negative outlook on life consume me with their sorrow, I will do all that I can, however, to consume them with my happiness, my love, and my laughter. Everything in life offers us a choice for the most part. Regardless of what others say or do I choose my own destiny, I keep my power, and I do not let others or their actions define who I am or how I will react. If you are letting the negative or pessimistic people of the world get the better of you, take back your power. You already have the edge because you believe you can do what they believe you cannot. They cannot get the better of you unless you empower them to do so.
