Never let the negativity get to you. There are gonna be a lot of people you have to plow through, but as long you believe in yourself, that's all that matters. ~ Becky G

Everyday we deal with negativity... it's all around us, thrown in our faces 24 hours a day from acquaintances, friends, TV, social media, and we even see it on Steemit sometimes.

Just the other day, I seen tons of Drama and Negativity on steemit, people complaining about how people should or shouldn't act. It received tons of views and opinions of others but guess what I did, I keep on scrolling.

You see, I made a decision a long time ago that I don't let any type of negativity or news affect me, I just don't allow it in my life so I avoid it at all costs.Β 

I just don't participate in any drama or negativity, it's just a huge of waste of time.Β 

People are attracted to drama and negativity, Β Heck it makes us feel better about our own lives when you see others being negative about their lives or situations.Β 

The biggest shift in my life happened 20 years ago when I started to surrounded myself with only Positive Minded People, instead of negative a**holes who always stir up drama and complain about everything.

Guess what happened, I'm a much happier person and learned that negativity and drama is just a distraction, it prevents people from reaching their owns goals in life.Β 

With that being said... always remember to stay positive regardless what you see or hear everyday, you will live a much happier life.Β 

"A negative mind will never give you a positive life"Β

Best phrase of the day "i'm not a pessimist but a realist" :)

Hey @stackin - just mentioned you charles in my last post about how great a motivator you are; especially articles like this promoting positivity - exactly the focus of my article!:

We get that a lot, being a blogger and vlogger, specially vlogging. It's hard not to care about what other people thinks, but I try to not give a F about it. People will tend to be negative about it. They have this mindset that you don't make money blogging or vlogging. That may not be true to some people that have made it. It's very much true to the other 90% in the world. I'm one of the 90%. So I look at it as my side income. I still have a job but blog and vlog about stuff. Always trying to make it someday.

I always said this to my peeps, "Do You", forget the naysayers and live a great life πŸ˜ŽπŸ’―

Ohmygosh, @stackin... great minds, thinking alike! :-)

I love your positivity!!

YES @erikaharris, I'm going to go watch your Positive Video right now :)

Life is way to short to let negative people try to suck the life out of it. Negative people suck. We all have are own battles we are going through but having a positive outlook on things can make things a lot easier to deal with and overcome. Choose happiness.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Totally agree, too many people are attracted to Negativity. Just be happy people, it's the best way to live :)

Negativity is overwhelming here. Whatever we do, people will always have something to say at the end of the day. So what are we going to do? Just do whatever we want to do lol.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

It's everywhere, I just don't participate and keep on movin πŸ˜‚πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

It is a real tough balancing act for sure. I get the positive attitude and it is important for sure. But also when a person seems more real for giving their opinion. One of my favorite business men of all time could be taken for being negative in this video. In my mind he is just keeping it real!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

He is a beast but didn't he say bitcoin was trash, but he changed his tune recently haha

I don't know that he said it was trash. I remember him saying that he is looking for the "next Bitcoin." Back in 2013 he was acting like BTC was sort of played out and that the next and better iterations of the tech would be better....etc.

I agree with about 95% of what Cuban says.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

He is a good guy to follow, I remember he bought a search engine company in the early 2000 and got busted for insider trading but they couldn't prove it. The company went bankrupt but thats what entrepreneurs do, fail and become better :)

Negative people always bring out negativity. Why don't people mind their damn business? LOL

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I have no idea, you may need to ask them πŸ˜‚

Preach! @stackin
love your positive vibes!!

You got that right, let's stop being average :)

It's like the saying goes, "You can't keep birds from flying around your head, but you can prevent them from building a nest in your hair"

... such is negativity... it's everywhere, but you just gotta resist it!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

YES!! :)

Bringin that Positive Action LOL

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

Very true. I believe that when people are naysayers, they're really only projecting their insecurities onto others. So, when someone else says, "You can't do that (fill-in-blank)!" what they're really saying is, "I could never do that (fill-in-blank)."

Whenever I hear a naysayer start like that, it thrills me, because it means I am indeed on the right path. On my path. May it lead to wonder and knowledge. As I hope for you all.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

That is a great perspective and a good way to look at it. "On The Right Path" :)

I totally agree! No party poopers are allowed in my vicinity.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I have weed hundreds of them out everyday lol

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you for this. I've had had a very stressful week of work and some financial problems on top of that. Now that I think about it I realized that my attitude was really what keeps me down. I KEEP ME DOWN. Again, thank you :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

You got this, just keep moving forward... you got this :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I love your content! Real quality! Thank you!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thanks @folklohr, took me 20 minutes to write it up :)

On youtube, matthias said he learned to embrace change. Thanks for this wonderful article.

agreed you are right

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I'm just dodging all the negativity today haha

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I can relate to this. I know a lot of people, including family members who find a negative in anything and try to create drama. As @ptmikesteem says, life is way too short to allow such negativity get in the way of our lives.

I guess we are all in control of our attitudes and actions and by choosing your attitude every morning when you wake up that is the attitude you will have throughout the day. Great post @stackin.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

YES, I totally agree on this. People need to take full responsibility on everything they do, once they do that... major change will happen :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yes! Too right. A lot of it is to do with mindset and from which angle we see and evaluate things from.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Weirdly enough I made a post about this yesterday about love and hate.
Hate is something which brews and clouds your mind with rage and rampage. You let it sit and brew leading you to do rash, impulsive actions you will regret.
Always strive towards positivity and happiness as that is what will act as the energy to keep striving for better. Hatred and anger only slows down that process.
Great Post @stackin. Keep spreading positivity.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

let's keep on stackin that positivity :)

As long as some Humanity exists weΒ΄ll always hear people complain for sure. ItΒ΄s just normal for some to do it on a daily basis unfortunately...

But you are totally right, optimism is the best at all times. To think positive and enjoy your life, thatΒ΄s as well my way of thinking since a long time. IΒ΄m glad you were able to achieve this significant change in your life 20 years ago :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I had to learn at an early age haha ... It's odd when you seen your old friends from 20 years ago, and they are the same people now. smh lol

Some people change, some don't & we continue going our own way while keeping those in our lives we think are worth it.

Horrible those drama queens. Mostly it happens if they have their poor ego not in sight ;-) or too much .hihi.
Full 100% and resteemed :-)

If you are positive and you hang out with a negative all day long then you end up neutral if you are lucky. If you are positive and you hang out with 2 or more negative people all day long then you end up negative. Math is math.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yes, you surround yourself with people that you want to become :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

I totally agree with you OP. Negativity will only drain you emotionally. What you view, what you think, what you read, the things you listen to, the people you roll with, all have a way of channeling either positivity or otherwise towards you. If you want to attract positivity, you have to make your daily life and the things around you positive. One way I have used in ridding negative people out of my life. They are only ready to take you down with them and I damn surely can't have that for me! Thanks for that piece OP!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

You hit the nail on the head. Surround yourself with people that you want to become :)

Absolutely correct, One of my favorite quotes by Winston Churchill:

β€œYou will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks.”

Be positive always, dont get the negative vibes affect you.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

All I can say is that there are lots of barking dogs in the world lol

I feel like more people need to see this ; also - I have been trying to start a project by getting people to use the tag " changetheworld "
Perhaps you could help bring content to that tag ; upvoted + re-steemed .

I'll take a look, thanks for sharing :)

Amen brother. One person told me a long time ago; ignore the lower energies. I took that advice. Ran with it. I have not looked back, doing things with love, for fun, and releasing all folks who do that fear-based, negative thing.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

That is a great way to look at it, "lower energy". Let' all move forward and become great :)

Very motivating , i love the positive vibes here ,, the more positive your are, the healthier you are

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

You couldn't be more right :)

I found that people love other people who are down and out. It makes them feel like their situation isnt as bad or that they arent alone. However, this doesn't pardon them from the fact that they are contributing to spreading the negativity.

Why does a positive post get less attention than a bad one? I've always noticed this.

Within all that, its also important not to ignore someone whos calling for help. :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

You are right on point. I avoid it at all cost on a daily bases... at the end of the day, it's kinda a waste of time and life. Thanks for the support @whatawombat :)

This reminds me a movie. He receives so much bad news in one day that at one point he runs away from a person while they were still talking. He was literally running away from negativity. He is running you are scrolling and I'm giggling at the connection.
