Gossip is a liken. Once you start to gossip about someone and their situation it spreads like mold. Mold is so strong of a bacteria that it just grows over all the good air and it literally takes our breath away.
I have been working my whole life on myself and because of this self growth I now respect others no matter what their situation, style, background and religion. One thing I do find, think or judge is when I listen to others who tell me how someone told them something about me. I start to go down the bacteria trail and get involved with “what are they saying about me”. How can they say that about me and then I start the mental chatter. Those of you who follow my articles know that “Mental Chatter” is big with me, huge actually, and one of the most unproductive, time wasting, likens ever. I then start defending myself for no reason, try to analyze and change myself based on someones false opinion of me.
I have just met someone who I think very interesting, smart, spiritual, loving and I feel the positive energy flowing from this individual until they get around a crowd that squashes their positive flow. I see their energy flow squelched because the others from this crowd are jealous of this persons success, smarts and abundance. This jealous crowd can not handle when the successful person is attracting other positive successful people so they have to make sure they cut down everyone, in hopes the positive person will lower themselves to their level of sickness and insecurity. The cutting down then grows like a mold or bacteria and consumes the positive flow with the liken and the person can not breath. Once the positive person can not breath because the negative flow is now consuming them they will go into their own Mental Chatter and become confused. They then start to ask the other positive people they have attracted if this or that “gossip” is true. When the positive honest person answers with honesty it sends the original positive person into confusion on who to believe because now they do not have enough positive energy left to make a decision for themselves.
How do we the positive people, who always look to better ourselves, handle this situation? We believe nothing of what we hear and half of what we see. My mother used to always tell me this and I do not know its original origin but boy is this statement true.
Look again: Believe nothing of what you hear and half of what you see.
We also must learn to only hang around positive people that feel good to us when we are around them.
When someone gossips about us to someone we just met or are getting to know and that person listening to the gossiper believes the gossip, then confronts us because they are to insecure to make their own decisions, confront them. After you confront them and they choose to stay in the negative they are not positive enough with themselves yet and it is best to run. No just kidding that is extreme.
This is where positive affirmations towards yourself come in. Using your daily affirmations, mantra meditations and motivational sayings, to yourself will bring back your power of positive thinking and positive attitude, therefore return you to mental peace. Once your mental peace has returned you can rise above the negative people or bacteria and breathe. Once you can catch your breath and remove yourself from the situation you can center yourself back to what you know is true for you.
What I find unfortunate is most people want to stay negative and blaming because they feel the strong hold of the mold but it is so simple to rise above to clean air. One of the simple and easy tools is to “How to Live From Within”, a 21 day guide to reach your inner self. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain. Now is all you have and it is never to late to be your true self and thrive in your Life.
