Monday Motivation

So often we are around people who are so negative over every little thing. Recently I was around someone that I'm close to but who is also negative quite often... I thought to myself "I do not want to end up like that." I will admit that I have not always been the most positive person. I have the tendancy to be negative....I feel like my eyes are open though... I want to try my hardest to be as positive as I can!! I want to be positive and have a smile on my face!! As a child of God I should be happy and have the joy of the Lord in my heart--ALWAYS! I know sometimes things in life aren't always the best but even in those time I want to be able to look back and see all that God has done for me and remember that being negative over something isn't the way to be!! Negativity only makes things worse, not better and it also causes people to NOT want to be around you. I do not want to be the kind of person that is always griping and complaining about everything. I do NOT want to end up an OLD NEGATIVE GOAT!! Just sayin. =)
