Promoting the Positive

Promoting the Positive
We always have the option to not participate in negativity or to find a way to create a positive direction instead.
“Sometimes we start out with the best intentions to think and speak only positive thoughts, but the people around us throw us off course. Not everyone fully understands the power our thoughts and words have, or even if they do, they may be stuck in old patterns of negativity. Much of our habitual communication takes the form of complaining and criticizing, and it can be hard to find a way into certain conversations without lapsing into those old habits. However, we always have the option not to participate in negativity or to find a way to influence the situation in a positive direction. In the right company, you may even be able to directly acknowledge the fact that things have taken a negative turn, thus freeing yourself and others from the negative pull…
…A powerful way to free yourself from the negative pull is to enlist allies who are of similar mind. You and a friend, coworker, or family member may agree to work together to continually shift the energy in a situation in a positive direction. The power of two people working to promote the positive is exponentially greater than one person working on their own. As you and your allies work together to lift the energy around you, you will be amazed to see how quickly the positive pull begins to draw people into its orbit, freeing one mind after another from negativity into light.”

Prayer:
All of life is one. It is evident all around and everywhere. The Source of all is the one Mind, the one Spirit. I, too, am one with Spirit. Life expresses through all that exists as peace and harmony. I am conscious of being in the center of peace and harmony of Spirit. I am inseparably connected with it, and I know that I am part of the infinite and perfect Spirit.
I bring my full awareness to knowing that my thoughts and words have great power, not only for myself but can influence others around me. I am no longer participating in negative thoughts and behaviors. I turn away from criticizing and complaining, replacing these habits with the energy of love and positive direction. I enlist friends and family and invite them to join me in working together to shift the energy in situations to a positive direction.
I give thanks for this opportunity to accept these changes as I know that I am always centered in the heart of goodness, peace, and harmony. I release this word to the perfect action of Love and law, knowing that my word is perfectly established. Thank you Spirit. And so, it is!
