Life transformation! -It always amuses me when I hear people labelling something as ‘negative’ with all its connotations.
As if the negative is something to be ignored or dismissed. Do these people, especially some of those new agers think that negative things will all go away if ignored? That by focussing on the positive will bring about a complete turnaround? What about the old adage, what you resist will persist..?
No. Labelling, invalidating or dismissing something merely as negative may mean that you have missed the point: For example, if I told you that your kitchen is on fire, would you then turn to me and say something in the way of “Oh, you’re talking so negatively. I was happy until now…” Of course you wouldn’t say something so absurd.
No, instead you’d try and do something about it. Let’s say you’d race into your kitchen and instinctively try and put out the fire. After putting out the fire, say it was caused by a frying pan with oil; you would indeed then thank me for putting your attention on this.
