Isn't simply telling someone he or she is being negative, negative?
Shouldn't we be like the Little Red Choo Choo Train in the
childrens story, and tell people, "I think you CAN, I bet you CAN,
I know YOU CAN!"

any thought action or belife that starts out i don't want... that won't work... but with words you can always switch them around
let me explain
lets say you play golf and your on hole #4 and there is a lake what do you say to yourself...
"don't hit the ball in the lake" don't hit the gball in the lake"
most people would it's almost normal... but that is so negitive!
so instead stay i'm going to make this ball go near the flag on the green!
your thoughts tend to draw people to you so more or less if you keep saying don't hit the ball in the lake it will go in the lake!
the more you tell others that they are being negative the more negativiity you'll bring into yourown life!
so try it this way!
instead of saying he or she is being negative...
try saying interesting have you thought about being positive!
that way your not being negitive about it!
just tell them
Think positively
that will help you as well!
Mad luv

negativity is pessimism rather thatn optimism. You're always looking at things from the bad perspective. Like you take a test in class and pass with a C when you wanted an A, on the bright side, atleast you passed, but still (negative or pessimistic view) its a C! Thats Horrible!

The discontinuous mind in action. Why always the dichotomies?
