Divorce Your Inner Negativity

Divorce can be a nasty thing. There's nothing like getting the old gizzard worked up after someone you once had so much love for and dreams with turn into a bitter rival or enemy. If you feel like you haven't been in a deep enough pit, I recommend divorce - it will dig you in fast and deep!

But when can divorce be a good thing? I say it can be good when you decide to divorce something in your life that brings you absolutely no value or benefit.

Today I want to pick on negativity. Similar to a marriage, I think many people fall in love with that negative voice in their heads. You can't do it. You won't amount to anything. It's too risky. It's too hard. It's not worth it. You'll be let down. Can't. Won't. Shouldn't. Not. No. Never. Un-uh. Afraid not. Afraid to.  How do you build anything significant on this?

Here's a suggestion. Divorce your negativity. Don't invite him over for dinner. Don't buy him cards or flowers. Don't take him with you to church, the movies, on vacation or to work. I think a little more of "I'm just not that into you." is in order for your negativity. Time for a good old fashioned dump and run.

What did your negativity do for you anyway? Where or how are you better today because of it? I suggest you move on and move forward. Focus on what you can do. Focus on what you are going to start doing. Positive change. Positive people. Positive self-talk. Can. Will. Should. Yes. Always. Yup. Not afraid.

And I highly suggest you have Mr. Negativity pay the court costs to finalize your fractured relationship.
