Hi Nisreen, it's all very well to say that we should avoid negative people who sap our positive energy and good thoughts.  But we must remember that they need to be encouraged and helped.  So when we can, let us provide some encouragement.  But in times when we aren't too well ourselves, we have to help ourselves first.  (Here is a related/similar question.  Several people are asking the same.)

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

"Spreading Positivity starts within. We must think positive thoughts. You control your emotions and a positive mind will bring about a positive attitude. Once we start to think positive, we will speak positive words of affirmation to ourselves – “I can do this!”; “I will complete every set in this workout routine”. There may be times when we realize that we are not where we want to be – in our workout progress or in life. In those times, we must think positive and speak positive words to ourselves and over our situation.

When we start to speak positive words to ourselves, our aura will exude positivity which will allow us to spread positivity to others.

“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened.”

                                                            – Buddha

There are days when we spread positivity and still receive negative reactions from people. Do NOT let that stop you. There are also days when we may not feel perky or happy. Remain positive. If it should be measured, our blessings outweigh all the bad things that have happened to us in our lives. We may never know the extent to which we touch the lives of others in a positive way, and therefore we must continue to spread positivity. There is always ONE person, young or old, who actually looks up to you. They value your words of encouragement, your smile; your positive aura. By spreading positivity, we brighten someone’s day and they in turn will spread positivity – ripple effect!

“If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.”

Dear Colleagues,

Good Day,

Please, see these lovely quotations and think positively!! 

Dear All,

Nobody was born to be negative. Outer world may highly influence people’s minds and defence systems. Some people, champions of adaptation to everything even to unprincipled compromises think that people of principle are negative. Please, determine what is negative and positive? Where may be the limits to follow the real principles of a character or to choose always the easier – positive - way to be a kind person for everybody? By the way, a friend of everybody is friend of nobody…   

Dear All,

Miranda mentioned “human energy vampires”. Have you ever met such “energy vampires”? I have met one but he was not a permanent vampire and generally he was positive.  People’s diversity is wonderful…  

What is the difference between permanent positive thinking (e.g. trying to be a friend with everybody) and naive thinking?

Prof. Lambrechts,

Good Day,

There is Arabic saying: "the difference is from heaven to earth", between permanent positive thinking and naive thinking. This is my humble opinion!!!

This is perhaps too personal a question in my life's experience for me to answer too fully in public, or indeed impersonally. 

I was brought up as the youngest in three generations of an originally very poor and very, very 'negative' family in northern England. The only 'positive' personality [one older than myself] died, or passed on out of it to my great loss, fairly young. I often wonder how far 'the war generations' of WW1 and WW2 suffered lifelong - perhaps from living those years, and longer, in fear. 

As one of the generation following thereafter, I have spent my whole life trying to get family members to look upwards. But if people don't want to be happy, perhaps that is not really my problem - except where it impacts on me? However, it can have great impact on a child and indeed an only child. I find myself glad if someone, having shared a few words with me, is himself or herself even just a little happier for having shared the time. As [I thought of myself] an atheist or an agnostic, in adulthood I found a religion, a way of thinking, that helped me to see the truth of life.

I once said to a parent of mine, 'You can't worry about EVERYTHING!' The uncomprehending reply was, 'Why not?'

Another, more widely asked question might be, 'Is the glass half empty, or half full?' Does it not depend how you CHOOSE to look at it?

Kind regards to all,

Margaret

Our Life is very important & we know well that it is a mixture of both joy & unhappiness & in order to make our life with the purpose,of successive action of our life we have to create our own faith,will power for achieving success in the life.

For main end of negative i wish to quote in words of ''William Neslson

''Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.

In order to have the success  in our life we must gets read of negative action with the help of our control mind ,with our practice & determination &will power creating the inner force in our life .

Rohit - yes! That is what I was implying myself, though worded from a very personal point of view.

let's a story of my own life about positive thinking. Many years ago when I moved to a new job, I felt one of my colleagues hate me.  So, our relationship was strained without any reason. One of days he sat at front chair of the office car and me was in the rear chair. Suddenly, I removed any annoyed feeling about him from my mind, and he immediately, I think less than 2-3 minutes,returned to me and start talking warmly and got a close friend.

Can people perceive positive feelings from a distance?

@ Maecel,

My answer to your question is yes,

I believe that we can perceive positive\negative feelings from a distance. It is related to our chosen words and how we formulate them.

Thank you all for sharing your opinions and stories.

Dear Marcel,

Naïve thinker may be somebody who is not corrupted. A positive thinker can be called optimist who is able to get rid of all the evil and dirty impressions of life. This is a marvellous and fortunate person.  

Dear Abdolghani,

To be hated without reasons and to be promptly reconciled with somebody are mysterious things of the souls and relations.

Dear Marcel,

Three days ago I perceived positive feelings from about two m.

estamos de acuerdo con ese principio nuestro entrono y nuestro pensamientos dirigen nuestras acciones . lodo terrible de esto es que en la mayoria de los trabajos de los clubes de cualuqier grupo abundan las personas que andan qeujandose de todo del dia del sol de la noche de su mujer de sus hijos de sus compañeros de trabajo y no entienden que el mundo ne es perfecto que debemos desarrollar nuestra inteligencia emocional para aprender a comprender las actitudes de las demas personas, nosotros queremos que nuestros amigos hagan lo que nosotros queremos cuando lo queremos y en la forma como lo queremos y eso no puede ser.

The thought which are in our mind always guide us to do it. If this thought is a positive one then we can proceed in right direction guided by our mind naturally but if the thought is negative one then we can proceed in wrong direction guided by our mind.

Our mind are actually guide to us.

So it is better not be in negative thought accompany as it creates a negative thinking in our mind which lead us on wrong path to wrong destination. 

Be always positive your mind must guide you to right destination.
