The Negativity

So, have you ever noticed that there are those certain people that you come across at different times in your life that seem to just ooze negativity? Why is that? I started thinking about this yesterday when i noticed it rubbing off on me. I realized that these types of people are all around and very toxic. Why do some people always look for the bad in situations, or worse, the bad in people? I admit that I tend to be the "glass half empty" kind of girl sometimes, but that usually relates to me and my feelings of insecurity and the "I should be doing more" thoughts that cross my mind. I try to always see the good in people, not questioning their motives until I have a reason to. My mom always said "you have to play the hand that's delt ya" and it drove me crazy when I was younger, but it's true. As I've gotten older, I have realized that that "teenager" attitude that "lifes not fair" and "why do I have to do that" isn't neccessarily a "teenager" thing at all, it seems to be the way a lot of people go through their entire lives. I for one think that this way of thinking is sad and very unproductive. Sometimes in life we have to do things we don't want to do or don't see the point in doing, but it still has to be done, so why complain? Why take it beyond complaing to saying cruel, hurtful things? I would love to let one day pass where all the negative thoughts and words and attitudes ceased to exist....wow, what a day that would be! Maybe sometimes my opinions on people or situations may come across naive, but who cares! I love looking at the bright side of things. After yesterday and my new found realization that negativeness sucks, I am going to make a life goal of mine to not be one of those people...ever, in my personal life or my professional life. I know that I am rambling, but i just had to put this out there. Until next time.....
