positive minds, good vibes

When you let negativity creep into your life, it will start to consume you. Recently I have been struggling with negativity in my life, anywhere from negative people, to negative thoughts. We all have times when we get down on ourselves but do we actually realize when we do this that it is starting to control our every thought. When you sit in a circle with friends talking about things you don't like you vibe off each others words, you continue to bring out negative thoughts to the surface and then before you know it you are completely frustrated or overwhelmed with sadness.

When faced with this issue not too long ago, I turned to the one person who I knew would be honest and open to listen. My mom is the number one person I run to with any doubt or fear, when I have a problem she usually comes up with a great solution. I was so upset about something that happened and within moments of my story telling she flat out told me that I was being a drama queen, no surprise in that. She is always honest, but we all need to hear the cold hard truth every now and again. She next proceeded to solve the issue at hand, how do we stay positive in so much anger? We turn to God, we pray for peace, and we trust in all that he does. Complexity is something that has to be in our lives in order to test our faith, our morals, and our humanity. When thrown an issue its not about what you do to solve it, it's how you handle yourself in the process.  Oh and she also said "self help book's help a lot too," words of wisdom right there folks. She's right, often times we see so many problems in our lives that we forget the reason we are here.

While scrolling through my pintrest feed earlier today I came across this picture. It made me smile because I know I was shown this for a reason, when life has you pulled a million and one ways we lose focus on the importance of what truly matters. In order to fully let go of things that our bothering us or getting under our skin we have to give it all to him. We can't hold on to anger, or sadness that get's you no where. Cast your anxiety and you're fear on the lord. If you or someone you know is struggling with letting go I encourage you to turn to God, he s always there to comfort you. He knows every feeling you have and every thought that crosses your mind. Then surround yourself with encouraging people who will lift you up and project happiness onto your life. When you have yourself surround with negative people you will become them. 

Eliminate the problem, cast the emotions, and trust in him.
