From an article by Peggy McColl

"If someone put poison
in your water…
…would you drink it?"
The obvious
answer is “NO"!
Chemical poisons that we
can see, taste, touch, and
smell can be fatal.
Fortunately we are intelligent enough to know that we
do not ingest poisonous substances…

…but what about our mind?

Repeatedly, people are poisoning their minds with negativity,
and though we cannot see this negativity, it is just as fatal.
Negativity is the poison
that kills dreams!

And we need to stop it before

it contaminates our lives.

Negativity starts with negative thoughts.

 Negative thinking cripples a person's life to
one degree or another. It robs people of the
opportunity to live up to their full potential and of
achieving their greatest desires and aims.
It condemns many to the rat race of mere
survival— drudgery day after day—because
they don't think they can achieve anything
more. It brings depression and other mental
disorders, and that in turn leads to physical
disorders.
Negative thinking results in negative,
destructive criticism‚ which results in
destruction. Destruction is a strong word, but
that is what it results in, because the potential
that has been there for good, for greatness, or
for success has been destroyed.
So many people want to do great things. So many people dream of being a
person who changes the world through some great work written, a great deed
of courage performed‚ or great acts of compassion rendered to those in need.
But the negative feeling of "I just can't do it" robs people of that chance to
make good on their dreams. (Excerpt by Maria Fontaine)
 How do we eliminate this poison?
Monitor the thoughts that you allow into your mind…
... every thought!

If you find yourself

thinking negative
thoughts…
…think again.

Strive to think
positive,
empowering,
and supportive
thoughts.
Just as you monitor your
thoughts, monitor the
words that you speak.
Listen carefully to every
word that is coming from
your mouth.
Watch for excusitis.
Excusitis is a disease
that causes people to
constantly make
excuses.
When you hear yourself
complaining, stop
yourself immediately.
Create a vocabulary
of a successful,
positive, inspiring
individual.
Be passionate in
your speech and
express your
enthusiasm with
your words.
The energy of the
words that you
speak is a powerful
force that is
creative.
 There is so much to
be positive about!

You are so valuable and That should raise

your self-esteem, and self-value!
 Part of the process to shift your thought energy from
negative to positive is to be grateful for the gifts in your
life and to focus on what is great in every situation.
• Be appreciative and show appreciation to others.
• Gratitude will attract to you more of the things that
you desire.

Negativity is the anchor

that holds you back.
Cut yourself free today and
be the most positive,
optimistic person that
you know!
The power of praise
and positiveness is
contagious.
So be a carrier!
If you've been negative about yourself in the past,
turn over a new leaf in your life and become
someone who is so positive that you'll be able to
influence others' lives for the better.

What was once your weakness

can become your strength!
