A Better Life through Inner Strength
You have taken it upon yourself to grow as a human being. Inevitably you will face resistance, or the appearance of resistance, in the form of negative people and negative self-talk from your mind. The time must come when you will satisfy yourself by steadfastly depending on the inner self, and not on anything in the outer world.
There is an example of nature that we can use. It is the basket of crabs; when a crab tries to escape from the basket, one of the other crabs will reach up and pull it back down. People do the same thing. As you try to change your situation, other people will pull you back down. I am sure you have experienced it first hand. If you have never experienced this, try this as an experiment. Tell your friends and relatives that you are thinking of starting your own store, and observe carefully their reactions. Some will be supportive, most will be negative and tell you that you will fail, or that nobody can do that, you’re not the type, and so on.
Now can you imagine what kind of reaction you will receive when you try to tell them about your new path in life? Imagine if you will; a whole church full of hard core christians, and you are standing at the pulpit, you are going to make the announcement that you are a witch. What kind of reaction will they have? Are you brave enough to risk instant burning at the stake? I know in real life nobody would do that, I am just getting the point across that the rest of the world does not need to be invited into your personal life.
Avoid negative people and situations. Do not allow anyone the opportunity to douse their negative energy on you as you try to evolve. It is not necessary to explain to anybody where your new mental attitude is coming from, unless they are completely supportive and genuinely interested.
Protect yourself from negativity! Do not argue or defend your new ideas to anyone! Ignore those people, and get away from anybody who cannot understand the psychological principles you are learning. This is the easy part. The hard part is actually you. You must also banish the negative self-talk that incessantly occurs in your mind. Replace all negativity, criticism and self-doubt with an honest belief in your ability to change anything in your life.
You do not have to pretend that you do not have problems, or that things do not always go smoothly, but you must realize that you have the ability to solve any of your problems, and the potential to attain all of your goals. This is not blind hope, but literal fact.
The easiest way to banish negativity from your life is to have an optimistic view towards the future. Perhaps your past has been filled with negativity and pain, but there is no reason to drag this pain with you as you grow older.
You have the power to make your life a positive expression of your spirit. Realize that you have the power to change anything in your life with which you are unsatisfied. This knowledge will give you the strength to go beyond the negativity we are all surrounded by. Also, with optimism, it is much easier to turn your problems into opportunities for growth.
Optimism for the future is the easiest shortcut to banish negativity. Today, create for yourself a simple, short statement that you can repeat to yourself whenever you feel doubt, or fear, or anger. A good example is “I am healthy, wealthy, and wise,” or “Everyday, in every way, I am getting better and better,” or simply “Everything is going my way.” Find a statement that you are comfortable with and apply it throughout your day.
Then write it down, put it in your pocket or coin purse. That way every time you reach for some change you feel the paper, and remember to be positive.

How to Have Anything You Want
