quotations about negativity
Today evil spirits are seen as negativity which floats around the Earth in large quantities.

I think in our society today, the negativity is at the forefront, so you see all the people that have outrage about this or that.

Even the most positive people experience negativity from time to time -- it's part of what makes us human. In very small doses, negativity can actually be pretty helpful, since it's our mind's method of keeping us safe by highlighting the bad in things. In larger doses however, it can dramatically limit our potential and hold us back from living life to the full. Relationships, careers, personal growth and long-term fulfilment can all be hampered. What's more, research has shown that negativity can also pave the way for more stress and more illness than our more positive peers.

Negativity is an addiction to the bleak shadow that lingers around every human form ... you can transfigure negativity by turning it toward the light of your soul.

One always looking for flaws leaves too little time for construction.

Thoughts
Negativity sucks away energy. If part of the negativity stems from your attitude or perspective, commit yourself at the beginning of each day and each activity to find something positive in yourself and in others around you. If the people around you are negative and you can't change that, either remove yourself from the situation or view it simply as one obstacle you face in pursuing your own potential. Stay focused on your own goals and make the best of the situation.

Nobody can motivate himself in a positive direction by continually using negative words.

One of the first steps to connecting with gratitude and hacking negativity, is recognizing this fundamental point, and that is: you are not the center of the universe. You must connect with something beyond yourself. I'm not suggesting you believe in a God, but you must realize the power of something beyond you. Think of the Earth spinning, the oxygen you breathe, your heart pumping, your legs moving. You didn't create any of this. You were given this gift. Be grateful.

Negativity is the surest way to tear yourself down, and the surest way to insure you won't be able to get back up.

Try giving up all the thoughts that make you feel bad, or even just some of them, and see how doing that changes your life. You don't need negative thoughts. All they have ever given you was a false self that suffers. They are all lies.
GINA LAKE
What About Now?
You become what you think about, what you talk about, and what you act upon. Print off everything that you say to others and all posts on all of your social media accounts. If you are constantly being critical and putting others down, this is who you are, this is your character, your legacy. You're leaving behind a trail of hate and negativity that lingers like a thorn bush, snagging anything that it touches.

If we fail to realize our full potential as human beings, we live more on an animalistic level. This is fine for dogs, cats, and chimpanzees but doesn't work quite so well for women and men. Without the capacity to freely shape our own lives, much as a sculptor might carve stone, we inevitably slip into negativity and depression.

It is ironic that constructive thinkers are often misunderstood as negative, as they differ from those longing for positivity: constructive thinkers have been conditioned to find positive in negative rather than suffering from the negative in negative.

Negative thinking, by definition, is in opposition to goals and positive motion forward.

Harness the Power of Resilience
People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action.

Sensitive souls draw in the negativity of others because they are so open.

Never allow the negativity of others to effect your tranquil thoughts.
STEVEN REDHEAD
Life Is Simply A Game
When you're experiencing negativity through thoughts, feelings, emotions, or actions, it can very often snowball. Your life can quickly become saturated in negativity, which in turn creates a vicious cycle that's difficult to break. The antidote? #Positivity. While that might seem like an obvious answer to many people, it's something of an alien concept when you're trapped in a negative cycle.

All negativity is an illusion created by the limited mind to protect and defend itself.

It is easier to avoid the effects of others' negativity when we question if an action or attitude is appropriately directed at us. If it isn't, we can choose to sidestep it and let it pass.
