Negative energy sometimes travels…
On the heels of a friend
On The shoulders of a stranger
In the smile of a colleague
In the hips of a lover
In the arms of family
It transfers itself instantaneously
Adhering to our vulnerabilities
Insecurities
Self-doubt
Feeding on …
Shame
Self-loathing
Suffusing a flow of negative thoughts
Intent on…
Invading
Impregnating
Contaminating
A peaceful existence
To incessantly plague the psyche
Meticulously
Discourage
Deconstruct
Derail constructive purpose
Insidiously insinuating itself
Like a soldier readied for war
It occupies the mind with negativity
It is the 'Yang' that tries to ensure the 'Ying' never wins
It is the polar opposite
Akin to Light and darkness, the sun and the moon,
Engorged in war with its opposing self
Occupying the same space to emerge superiorly triumphant
Conditioned only upon your surrender
It is in the spirit of that explicable knowing
That we must be…
Cognisant (aware/mindful)
Persistent!
Unrelentingly Diligent
Not allowing negative energy to
Permanently inhabit our being
Own our intellectual, spiritual. psychological and physical space
To be defiant in our pursuit
To not let negative thoughts take root
Staying proactive, taking charge and…
Remembering that when you lack strength or...
courage to fight for yourself
To gather reinforcements
Access support systems
Calling upon them
Surrounding yourself with those that will lift you
Until you can lift yourself
Understanding that….
True strength is in knowing ones limitations
Understanding that no one person is not an island
And…
Even an island needs the water, weeds and wild life to exist
Keep your head up,
Don’t give up
Never give up
Breathe
And….
Keep on keeping on keeping on even when you feel otherwise
Peace

soul lifting as usual...keep my POSITIVE FIRE burning!
ReplyDeleteSo on point..... just hope that my own life brings out the best in others, supports them and emits postivity in all I do, because I think it kind of has to start with each of us.
ReplyDeleteYeah but what do you really mean? Only kidding.
ReplyDeleteNegativity sells! It's all around us. It can be difficult to avoid it. Avoiding it is (here comes a cliche) half the battle. I hope you are winning that battle.
Oh by the way my new ride is just fine, so far any way. Oops that sounded negative! Actually it's the nicest car I have ever owned and I've owned a few. Thanks for asking. By the way I'm thinking of adding a deck to my blog. Whaddya think?
