It never ceases to amaze me the negativeness that oozes from people attempting to grow a successful home based business. I nearly fall out of my chair sometimes reading status updates on Facebook and tweets on Twitter! This negativity is like a magnet, and each day they are negative, they create yet another negative day to keep feeding the building negativity. It's almost like an addiction. One has to STOP a negative thought in progress and reach for a more positive one. No matter how negative a thought is, there is a positive thought just around the corner to replace it.
In lieu of rambling on like I enjoy doing on the topic of why we should all be positive, I've decided to compile a collection of quotes on negativity from varied persons in cyber space past and present.
You see thought is such a powerful thing and I'd like to entertain the idea that these quotes may enlighten you somehow! Even though the topic of these quotes are "negative quotes" the true meaning within each one is a reflection of the positive...
Please use these negative/negativity quotes to empower you on the road to positive-ness!
“If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.”
“Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power”

"Negativity is an addiction to the bleak shadow that lingers around every human form ... you can transfigure negativity by turning it toward the light of your soul." ~ John O'Donohue

"That's my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck's back. If it's not positive, I didn't hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy." ~ George Foreman
"From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life." ~ Anais Nin
"Negativity sucks away energy. If part of the negativity stems from your attitude or perspective, commit yourself at the beginning of each day and each activity to find something positive in yourself and in others around you. If the people around you are negative and you can't change that, either remove yourself from the situation or view it simply as one obstacle you face in pursuing your own potential. Stay focused on your own goals and make the best of the situation." ~ Terry Orlick
"What we focus on, we empower and enlarge. Good multiplies when focused upon. Negativity multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours: Which do we want more of?" ~ Julia Cameron
"Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed." ~ Michael Pritchard
Look how negative our world can be....
