Negative Talks Are Life Stealers

I do not know what you are going through in your life. Whatever you are going through, negative talks are not going to make it better. Negative talks are just that. They are spoilers. They are destroyers. They are not builders. They are out there to deceive people.

But you do not have to give in to negative talks. You can do something about them. You can speak life over whatever you are going through in your life.

If you are searching for a job, for example, you can say, ‘ Losing a job is not the end of my life. It is another chance to learn new things.’ If you are going through financial issues, you can say, ‘I am learning to take care of my money. I am understanding money better.’ If you are not connecting with people, you can say, ‘The right person will come. It is not about me.’

Remember, words have strengths. They can change your life forever. Words can change your life in negative ways. They can also change your life in positive ways. It depends on what you want.

If you want to experience positive things in your life, then do not entertain negative talks. If you want to elevate your life, you must always feed your mind with positive thoughts. You have the power to do it.

You can select what comes into your mind. You can choose what you do with your thoughts. You can speak positive thoughts over your life. You can change your life by changing how you talk to yourself.

When any thought shows up, ask yourself, ‘Where is this coming from? What am I going to do with it? Is it positive? Is it negative? Is it going to help or hinder me? If it is going to help you, then embrace it. If it is not, then get rid of it. You do that by replacing it with a better thought.

How To Not Lose Yourself While Finding Your Own Path

‘… if you’re uncomfortable with something, it’s because it isn’t right. Discomfort is the human response to a questionable or bad situation, whether that’s working long hours with no end in sight, exaggerating your business numbers to impress investors, or selling intimate user data to advertisers. If you get into the habit of suppessing all discomfort, you’re going to lose yourself, your manners, and your morals.’– jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson

Discomfort is a message. If you want to know what is going on in your life, you must pay attention to what you are feeling. Do not ignore your feelings.

Do not pretend that things are alright. Because things don’t get better by themselves. If you want things to change, you must, according to Ray Dalio, know ‘how reality works.’ Know what you want. Know what you do not want. Know what you can do. And know what you cannot do.

Do not say no to everything. And do not say yes to everything. Just focus on what makes sense to you. If something is good, do more of it. If you do not feel good about something, don’t do it.

Say ‘no’ to what is not relevant to you. Because, according to Jason and David, ‘When you say no to one thing, it’s a choice that breeds choices. When you say yes to one thing, you’ve spent that choice.’

The question is, ‘What are you saying no to?’ And what are you saying yes to?
