Being Positive or Negative Toward Others Determines Your Own Life

A common and sad thing among mankind is our sense of jealousy or envy for people of success or people with more than we have. We tend to always look for faults in them or some way to degrade them and bring them down to our level. We place very high expectations on successful people, and though many of them do what they do with no intention of being a model for others, we accept nothing less than perfection from them. When we are able to find faults in them it makes us feel good to be able to remind ourselves as well as others, how imperfect they are and how they are just like us. An example of this would be a celebrity that we don't like for some reason or another, that is in the news because of some run-in with the law or something otherwise embarrassing. Instead of feeling bad for that person and hoping for the best, we laugh, joke, and boast about them in their troubles. We have to be careful in our lifetime what we feel and wish upon others because it has a direct effect on our own lives.

Negativity only begets more negativity. If you desire negative things for other people no matter if it's a bad review, embarrassing media coverage, or some other negative experience, karma has a way of swinging those negative desires back around to you. Remember growing up, when adults would tell you that you should treat people how you want to be treated? They weren't just talking about physical treatment but what you desire and wish upon people as well. Don't think that just because you aren't physically hurting or publicly broadcasting your dislikes for others that you are OK or safe from the boomerang of karma. What goes around comes around. That's just the way life is, and the things you let go around will always come back and play a part in where you are in life and in the victories or losses that you will experience in life.

It's the little things we do that have the biggest effect on us. Speaking negativity and thinking negatively are the main things we need to stop ourselves from doing at all costs. This is why they say to be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. Everyone desires a life of victory for themselves so the best thing we can do for ourselves is desire victory for others also.

Be happy for others when they are doing well, and hope for them when they aren't to doing so well. Do this for everyone regardless of what you think about them. Of course this will be harder to do for people who we don't like, but doing so for those people will be the cause of our biggest victories. If you don't have something positive to say about a person don't say anything at all. Regardless of what we think about other people, when we hope for them, pray for them, and cheer them on, we begin to experience levels of victory in our own lives that many will feel isn't fair, and those victories will come with minimal effort. I like to call it the favor of God. When you are positive for others you become a magnet for positive things.
