Blog Focus:  12 Positive Things to Do This Year

1/2/2019

Choosing one POSITIVE thing each month to focus on.  

Let’s go back to our old school values.  Let’s be nice.  Ok, before you start cussing and dismiss the idea at first glance, just read, breathe, and give it a try. If you try and it doesn’t work for you, then set it aside and come back to it after some passages of time in your life.  One thing I know for sure is that good outweighs evil.  Am I preaching at anyone? No, because we are all in this together, and I will be attempting to do this “experiment” myself.  I am very challenged  by so many negative things around me, but I will let you know at the end of the 2019, how I did.  Somebody please hold me accountable if you don’t see a post about any of the ideas I posted.  😳

​
POSITIVE TASK #1:   Practice forgiving those who have hurt you. 

​
There is something to be said about relishing in the downfall of those who have done you wrong, or who you dislike with a passion.  I get it.  I have been there and still ask God almost daily to rid me of some of the anger and resentment I feel when the memory or images of those people who did me wrong, enter my conscious space.  I do feel good sometimes when “they” are “getting what they deserve,” but the part of me that went to church from infancy, and learned some of the scriptures about forgiveness, wants to do better job at forgiving.  Because of that, I am going to will myself not to “jump and say hallelujah” when I see them going through bad times.  Lord knows on some level, I think they deserve every bit of pain that may come their way, however,  because I personally dislike misfortunes for myself, I will cut my eyes, keep my mouth closed,  and mind my business.  I will take the higher ground and not celebrate their misfortune.   I challenge you to try this approach, and to call me out if you see me doing the opposite.  



Instead of celebrating someone’s demise, how much better is it to work harder at forgiving.  I am on my journey, wish me luck and #StayStrong.
