Lately, I've been thinking about how much positive energy plays an active role in our lives. Everyday that God grants us the blessing of life, we are expected to live with purpose. However, I'll be the first to admit that at times I allow the weights of the world to affect me, and occasionally I break down as a result of them. I'll even take it a step further and acknowledge that there are some days when I want to bury my head in my pillow and pull the covers over my head permanently. But then I'm reminded that I'm highly favored and that that isn't what God created me to do. Therefore, I pick myself up, wipe my tears, get cute and keep it pushing in my stilettos (or flip-flops).
Anyway, I am a believer that positive energy definitely exist. But often I find myself wondering whether or not it's possible to maintain a high level of positivity all the time? Though we shouldn't, we often compare ourselves to others and it's easy to get lost in the "keeping up with the Jones" theory even as it relates to blessings...yes blessing. (A definite No No! But it happens!) Though none of us are entitled to any blessings that result from God's grace. I do recognize that the energy we generate returns to us in one form or another.
Undoubtedly, we all have good and bad days. The important thing to recognize is that positive attitudes not only dictate how issues are resolved but how others perceive us in the process. Positivity is an infectious tool that breeds encouragement. But just as positivity can be contagious so can negative energy. I make a conscious effort to surround myself with those who ask WHY NOT instead of WHY. As radio personality Micheal Baisden often discusses there are all types of "dream thieves" in the world. So it's important to omit naysayers or drama queens as much as possible. But the sad thing is many don't realize how negative they are, for them it's as common as they air they breath.
Bottom line...lingering in environments which brew poison can only result in death. Therefore, it's necessary to speak life into your aspirations, daily activities and encounters. Regardless of what the future holds, when you've contributed positive energy the odds will always be stacked in your favor.
Peace & Blessings
