How much do you enjoy being around a negative person? Well, I don’t like it either. When we choose to focus on the negative side of life, circumstances, or challenges, we tend to find ourselves in a valley of depression, discouragement, and the loss of hope. The key idea here is “focus”. Yes, we will experience negative events, and encounter negative people, but we have a choice of our focus. We can choose to look at the opportunities instead, understand what we can learn from the situation, and become a better person through not giving up when it’s tough. Let’s not live in a negative space today.
