A Positive or a Negative Person…
Saturday, December 8th, 2007about time for a new entry, this one’s about somethin i’ve been wanting to write about for quite a while now, but i just haven’t thought everything through it yet until now… so here goes… ask yourself…. what kinda person are you? a positive person…. or a negative person?
weather we’d admit it or not, i think you should agree that we’re living in a negative world, we’re living in a place where bad things gets more attention than the good, we live in place where people easily judge you by your mistakes and your shortcomings… ever notice that? it’s like everytime you voluntarily or involuntarily make a mistake people will judge you in a snap… and BOOOM… you’re branded as someone bad… these days, in our generation, it’s much easier for people to notice the bad in you than what’s good and it’s pretty scary… not just for me, but for everyone… coz when you make a mistake and people finds out, it spreads like wildfire… and after the fire is out there’s a scar that remains and people doesnt not forget easily about these things… these people who judge, who brands you for your mistakes, who criticizes you and im not talking about consructive criticism, oh no… these people tend to talk behind your back and it’s pretty scary… these are the people who gives and boasts that they gave, they’re the kind of person who gives and expects somethin in return… people who talk about other’s mistakes and conciously forget to mention their own mistakes… the people who thrive in other people’s mistakes…
on the other hand… there are the positive people… the positive person is optimistic, and tend to look at what’s good in you rather than the bad… these are the people who see your strengths first before your weaknesses, these are the people who drags you to a corner looks you in the eye and tells you your weaknesses with all honesty in an attempt to help you be a better person, these are the people who looks at what’s beautiful in you and not what you’ve done wrong in the past… these are the people who trust and love with all their hearts… these are the people who tries to do their best at all times… and they’re the people who tries to do the right thing always… and you don’t even have to tell them to do what’s right… it’s just inside them that automatically tries to do what’s right…it’s their instinct to do what’s right… these are the people who gives and does not expect anything in return… unselfish genuine people…
there’s only a handful of positive people that i know of, and i can’t even convince myself that im one of them… that doesnt mean that im a negative person, i dont wanna judge people like i dont want people judging me… it’s like that… and i try to keep myself out of someone else’s troubles, i’ll help you when you’re receptive for my help but as much as possible i keep my nose to myself and if at times i hear bad things about people i just keep it to myself and the person who told me to keep it from spreading like a wildfire… at this point… try to look in yourself and ask yourself… am I a positive person? or… am I a negative person? it’s not a matter of just saying "yeah im a positive person!" and get it over with, it’s about knowing yourself and being honest to yourself… i dont have any intentions of proving if you’re a positive person or not coz only you can answer that question… what i wanna ask of you, what i want for everyone to consider is this… before you do anything in everyday life, think about the golden rule, do not do unto others what you wouldn’t want others do to you… if you think about the golden rule everytime before doing anything you’ll always be in the safe side… and if you’re able to do that every single time then it’s safe to say that your a positive person or at least you try to be… nobody’s perfect though, that’s a given, but we have a choice in everything that we do, and with that we have the power to choose who we want to be… again, nobody’s perfect, everyone is bound to make mistakes it’s only human to make mistakes… but we have the power to choose who we want to be… think about it…
Thanks for spending time, God bless always…
