There is a positive and a negative side to our emotions and they can affect how we feel, act, think and cause us to be towards others.\n\nPositive Emotions: Affection, Empathy, Gratitude, Happiness, Hope, Love
Negative Emotions: Anger, Anxiety, Bored, Depression, Despair, Disappointment, Envy, Fear, Frustration, Guilt, Hatred, Jealousy, Loneliness, Misery, Pride, Rage, Sadness, Shame, Sorrow, Suffering, Worry.
1. Being positive or negative can influence your life.
2. Being positive or negative can affect you personally.
3. Being positive or negative can affect others.
Being positive can bring you happiness, empathy towards others, being grateful for all things, hope, the ability to show affection towards others, build good relationships with others and being able to love.
Being negative can cause all sorts of problems in your daily life. Answer this question, "What are the people like that live in your area?"
If you see the people in your area as mean, nasty, rude, inconsiderate and self-centered then you are seeing people in a negative way. Just by seeing people this way can cause a person's whole outlook on things to be in a negative way. Being this way can affect your relationships with people, how you convey yourself towards others, how others have an affect on you and your whole outlook on life.
Being negative can cause a person to have low self-esteem, experience a lot more stress, not have the ability to cope with problems when they arise, lacking the ability to handle relationships in a rational manner, to complain about everything, see things as a burden or a hassle, hatred, depression, self-pity, envy, worries, frustration, anger, fear, anxiety, disappointment, suffering, and misery.
When a person sees people as being good, kind, loving, helpful, and caring they are basically looking at themselves because this is the way that they see people. This is the way that they act and think, all in a positive way. They are the ones that can keep happiness in their life because they have a good outlook on life.
The boss could overload them with work, but it doesn't bother them because they accept it without a grudge and get it done, or they could get a flat tire without getting mad, they accept it, fix it and move on. These are the people who have patience, who accomplish their goals, get things done, solve problems that arise in their life, all with a positive attitude.
Without having a positive attitude, recovering from addiction is going to be a difficult process and your chances of a relapse is going to be much greater. Having a positive attitude when it comes to accomplishing tasks, makes getting them done go a whole lot smoother and it will benefit you in a much better way. It's all in how you look at things as to how it is going to affect you. You have the power to make each and every moment of your life happy and stress free or you can make your day a living hell.
A positive attitude towards people, places and things can keep you calm as the water in a pond, but a negative attitude can have your insides as rough as a stormy ocean. Throw a pebble into a pond and watch how the ripples roll out, these are like vibrations that you send out whether you have a positive or a negative attitude. They touch the people around you and they can feel it. The vibrations that you send out will attract either positive or negative people towards you.
Negativity can cause problems in a person's life. It has no value and it causes many burdens on one's life and relationships with others. Being positive leads to a much happier life, it accomplishes goals and can keep one sound in body, mind and soul.
