Believing in the good

I have always been someone who believed in the good in every person. Believed that everyone has positive intentions. Believed that everyone operated from a place of love. 

While I still believe that this is mostly true, what happens when there is someone who was once in your life who is operating not from a place of love?

There will always be people in life who live in a negative energy. But you have a choice of whether or not to allow their actions to affect your own energy. 

And while most people have good intentions and don’t intend harm, if there is someone who doesn’t have pure intentions you still have a choice. 

It is your choice what you focus on in your life. Your thoughts can bring you joy and happiness or they can bring you sadness or stress. 

When you allow another person’s behavior to bring you down, you give them power over you. Power over your thoughts. Power over emotions. And since your emotions and thoughts attract your experiences, you give them power over your experiences. 

Finding a way to feel good is your work. 

You can choose to think about anything and feel good, and let it in. 

You don’t have to allow someone into your heart space that you don’t want to be there. 

And you can always focus on your gratitude…appreciating the good and beautiful things in your life and the wonderful and loving and caring people in your life who are dear to you. 

You can choose to live from a space of gratitude and love.
