Daily Reflection

“Negativity only breeds more negativity, as when one focuses solely on the negative, that’s all they’ll ever see, even when some positivity comes along and attempts to be a part of their life.” (Unknown)

It seems like everywhere I go lately everyone is talking negatively about President Donald Trump. At social outings, recovery meetings, and various other get-togethers I’ve attended, I continue to hear one negative thing after another come out of far too many people’s mouths when it comes to this new administration. And from what I hear, it’s pretty much the same on the news, during the day-time talk shows, and even the ones on late-night as well. Everyone seems fixated on the negative side of what they perceive is happening in our country! But even though I may not have voted for Trump or find much spiritual connection in what he stands for, I haven’t become one of those who has joined in on all this negativity. Why? Because it’s actually allowed me to see something quite positive happening throughout our country, and even our world for that matter. I’m watching countless people starting to come together and unite for a greater cause. A cause that supports women’s and LGBTQ rights, a cause that seeks to have racial justice and freedom of religion, a cause that purses increased protection of our natural environment, and a cause that’s finally beginning to truly expose all those divisions, barriers, and imbalances in our world that have kept us from moving forward towards a much higher vibrational state of being. So, while many may choose to keep concentrating on each of the negative things they observe in this new administration, I’ve opted to take a Higher Path. One where I’m not going to be blinded from seeing all the positive and unifying actions taking place, and one where I’m fully able to witness the Light growing through it all.

I pray to be free of all the negativity that surrounds me and to become fully aware of all the good and positive things happening, including the ones that are always around me each and every day.

Peace, love, light, and joy,
