Negativity feed on negativity. That is a given. This doesn't mean we have to be ridiculously positive all the time (in my opinion more or less impossible) but it means we can learn to feel our negative vibe, accept it for what it is, and then choose to let it go. It means (through this openness) that we constantly find the silver lining. Every event carries a gift, somewhere at its core. This is my direct experience. I find when people live in such a way they appear lucky and fortunate, but none of what happens is due to them being more special. It's a matter of perception, perspective and a kind of awareness which nourish healing and a wider acceptance. What happens may not be okay, the actions of others are perhaps inconceivable, but the acceptance of the event as something there for a reason, will teach us things. Life lessons. Designed to bring us deeper so we open to more of who we are. Bitterness never grow in such people. Grief is felt. Sadness, too. As well as love. None of it gets stuck, though. It is felt and moves through, preparing us for the next moment. The way of such a soul is the constant return to its initial state; the bright light that we are.
