When things are not going well, we tend to blame other factors and other forces. We do not know how powerful the things we say stand as obstacles to our very own life. How did your exams go? My dear, you see that exam I wrote now I am not even sure of getting a D. How Did you know? Have you written the exam before and not passed or have you seen the lecturer mark the first page. How did that Job interview go? My dear the rubbish I said there, I was just shaking and I could not give a reasonable response, I am not sure I will get the job. How Did you know?
Have you heard of speaking things from what they are not to what they are supposed to be, that's what I call Positivity. I so much hate negativity that it takes me far from people. I was going to fall a victim of that sometime in my life or rather I fell victim but God rescued me and since that day I vowed to always stay positive with my words.
I went for an interview in one company and when I was done, one of the persons waiting to enter asked me "how was the interview?" and I started, I said that annoying panel, I think they planned me, the questions they asked me where totally different from everybody's own, I do not even know what made me waste my T-fare coming here. But God being so kind after saying all the Negative statements I ended up saying to the person but if the Job is for me let God grant me favour even though I said rubbish inside there. And I got home, I was asked the same question by my sister, I quoted the same thing I told that person that was waiting to go in, *lol* and then I was really bothered because I needed that job. 2 weeks later my phone beeped and I noticed it was a text message from that company and I did not even open it, I started talking again, why will people just waste their time to compose a "WE ARE SORRY, WE CANNOT TAKE YOU" text message, this people must be jobless o. I did not even bother about the message.
Some hours later I got a call from the company calling to confirm if I got the message, as they awaited my reply. Huh? My eyes opened and one kind of smile came to my face, though I did not know whether it was good or bad o and I started wandering, so what are they talking about, as the caller did not even make me know whether it was for good or for bad but then I thought to myself they cannot be calling me for bad (guess that was my only positive thought all through the period), I quickly sat up and tried to find the message, when I opened it, Ah!! My dear, it was congratulation o.
So imagine if they did not call me, I would have stayed there wallowing in my world of Negativity and that would have caused me a job offer I really wanted. Imagine if that had happened to me like 3 times, going for interviews, speaking Negative, they send me a message, I ignore it because I assume it is bad news and then no job was coming my way. obviously I will start blaming one force from somewhere when actually my negativity was my major force that led to my failure.
In the chart of success you have to make a choice.
You do not stand in the middle, it is either you speak positivity and believe it or you speak negativity and forget it. You can never do both. You cannot be negative and decide to act positive , it does not work that way. People spend so much energy watering their ground of negativity than nurturing their ground of positivity. Negativity is not a fertile ground but positivity is a fertile ground that even if you do not see it today, keep speaking, the seed keeps growing and in no time you will be due for harvest. Remember there are no forces but you are the force that gives room to failure, because once you speak negativity the forces automatically get the key to your success but when you speak positivity you shut the door to every force.
Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.- Willie Nelson
Are you ready to always speak positive?
If yes... start by speaking positive about all that you have once said to be negative. It is never too late you can start now.
Nice write up... Really inspiring.
