Honesty and Positivity

Each day, may it be busy or empty, seems to be a challenging day for me. I'm actually referring not to my work, but to my environment. Sometimes, you know, no matter how hard you keep yourself busy doing stuff, if you are surrounded by souls who have no good intentions on you, you can't help but get affected. That is, if you will allow them to touch your inner emotions. I believe that keeping your "positive signs" intact can shield you away from negative forces. But the big question is, how do you maintain your positivity?

I must admit that it is not easy for me to keep it. As a matter of fact, as I am writing this, I myself almost lost another plus sign today but again, as I will forever be grateful, God is working on my life that in His mysterious ways He was helping me carry my every day with positivity in mind. Prayer is my best weapon. If I feel like someone hit my sensitivity, I secretly pause for a while and offer a short prayer for myself and for the person whom I think has hurt me. Sometimes, I just utter His name and that's enough for me to become happy again. Another thing I do is to think of happy moments with my true friends and families, or simply with ordinary but true people. That way, I am trying not to give a thought anymore on what I hear and what I see that might just affect me.

Also, when I receive some comments or reactions from other people who are obviously doing such acts to shame me or just wanting to get everybody's attention (we call them "exhibionist" by the way), I ask myself, is this person has reputation for truth or lies? Is he credible to do such criticism? And if I found out the real answer, I'm telling you, that'll suddenly give me a big sarcastic smile on my face and in my mind I say "this person is so pathetic." hehehe. Nah, that last part wasn't true. But at least, you will realize that you shouldn't be affected by exhibionist. And if they continue to make noise, always remember that empty can is always loud. Innit? :)

But of course, you have to be honest to yourself. If you believe that you are not doing anything wrong, then don't be bothered nor interrupted by these noisy little cans who aims to attract everybody's attention and sadly fail in the end for not getting one.

If you have the guts to confront the person, if you think he's already stepping on your tail or if you see his hands already in position to pin you down like a nail, then do confront him. And I think I can do that. But first I make sure that my brain's with proper light and my heart's pumping well before I even say a word, or else I will end up being the bad cop.

Well, that's it for my day. I guess we should still live with the rule that says "do not do unto others what you do not want others do unto you." (,")

Know Thyself. God speed.
