Negativity Negativity is a perception. If you look at a thing, a situation, a person, or an event negatively, that is how it is mostly likely to end up for you. If you look at something positively , you can still be at peace even if it ends differently than you had expected. Negativity can also be the result of peer pressure or negative influence. When you are in a group and someone always talks negatively or badly about a person , naturally, you will start to adopt their negative view of that person. This is how it all starts and builds up. And finally, you find yourself becoming a victim of negativity. An unexpected event can also cause negativity. negative thinking. No doubt , they are all adverse for the individual . There is not one benefit to it. Negative thinking will pull an individual down and lower self-confidence, which will tarnish that person’s view of the world and the people in it. negative thinking ruins hope . When you lose hope, you give up, and that mostly happens when you are ‘this’ close to achieving something. Negativity is something created by yourself, and it is all in your hands. You cannot have control over negative things happening around you, but you can always prevent them. As the old proverb goes, “Prevention is always better than cure. Om sairam Babaji. |
