It can be a big challenge to try to turn the hate you have into love, but it is important that you stick with the good things and never let the terrible things in. The love can always be there, because each of us has that power to bring it out. We can have our differences but try to focus on the positive. When we ingest and take in all the negative it is only natural that it will take hold of you. You feel used to looking at all the harmful stuff your mind is full and not in an effective way. There is enough negativity that can exists anywhere you look, but why put yourself through that? I used to think I was the king of negativity before. Negativity does not end up having benefits for us, so there is simply no place for it. Can it lift our mood and motivate us to do better? No, I would say if anything it would make your mood worse and could hurt your performance even more. Can negativity provide safety for us that makes us warm and cozy? If negativity makes you feel warm and cozy, I want to pick your brain for a bit. Love can feel like home, paradise, relief, acceptance, etc. It can bring down walls and has the power to heal everyone it touches. Why is this important? Because it can be a tough time moving through life right now for many people. We may feel we do not know where our lives will end up, where the world is head, certainly enough uncertainty to make some people feel queasy. Love sounds simple, naïve, even too easy, but it can work. Love and time can make things work and show you things you never thought were possible. Why would anyone shut that out? Because we may not get the experiences that we want or feel we are not doing what we want. Hurt people need to know to turn that anger inward or focus internally on yourself first. Make yourself into who you want to be and see how you end up feeling. Do not start thinking from day one that things are easy or there is nothing more to learn. We need to focus more on our problems and how we are doing instead of looking for trouble. It can be tough sometimes to see the world for its worst, but that is when you need to remember and bring out its best. If the negativity is there do not stoop to its level. It wants you invited to the party, but you never have to go. We each choose to be there and from there it can be loop of troubled times or thoughts. I have changed into the love conquers all guy, which is lame. It sounds weak, soft, but it is the truth or at least a truth in which I will believe. If I must, I can create my own love and start there.
