“To produce a different future I must be a different person.” —JOHN P. HANLEY
If we want to improve the world, it must first come from our healing the discord within our own souls. Changing our words will ultimately change our thoughts, and this will in turn change our world. When we cease complaining, we remove the outlet for our negative thoughts, our minds shift, and we become happier. Having no place for the negative thoughts to be expressed, the mind ceases production of them. When your mouth stops expressing negative thoughts as complaints, you will discover new, happier thoughts currently hidden behind the fog of negativity that shrouds your thinking.
If people around you are complaining, remain vigilant not to join in. You may have to extricate yourself from negative relationships. If they are at your place of work, change departments or change jobs—the Universe will support you along your positive new path. If they are with friends, you may realize that you have evolved beyond the present relationship. Even if the negative relationships are with family members, it may be best to limit your time with those people.
There is no such thing as false hope!
The word “hope” is defined as “a wish coupled with a confident expectation of its fulfillment.” So long as you hold a confident expectation of what you desire coming to pass, it can never be false. “False hope” is an oxymoron.
faith and optimism.
