Shaking off the Negative Vibes!

Honestly, who wants to be negative? I have been trying really hard to stay as positive as I can, but then, there are times when I have to admit, some people just love being negative and the worse part is when their negativity seems to be contagious. Or, i do wonder, does the person whom we think being negative thinks the same way about us. Are we the source of their negativity? Or do both of us tend to be negative in the presence of one another? Is the feeling mutual?



I do remember my husband quoting Irfan Khairi.. get rid of the negative people around you. I think I should. Being negative somehow will radiate toxic from you .. You'll feel tired, lethargic and worse is you tend to keep on talking bad things behind that person's back.



I've encountered many negative people in my life. I just hate the way they criticise other people, I just hate the way the smirk when others are telling stories and I hate the way they tilt their nose as if the nostril are meant to be seen, most importantly, I just hate the way I feel right after I see them. It made me a bad person scrutinising their habits and behaviour. I should have just left them alone and now I'm starting to sound like I am being negative.. hehe.. see I told you, it's contagious.



Are you a negative person. Some negative people whom I know can't just be happy for others. I've seen them loathing another when someone share a great news like buying a new house or buying new clothes. Happiness is not only about your happiness but sometimes being happy for others make us a happier person. Easy! To be a happy person does not mean you have to be happy for yourself only.. in fact, most of my happiness somehow came from being happy for others.. a friend having a newborn, my sister renovating her house, my student getting married, my sister in law's convocation. I remember when a lot of friends graduating with 2nd class upper, I was so excited that a friend asked me, "yang kau excited sangat ni kenapa???". I was startled.. well.. I explained.. I'm just happy for them..

I'm surrounded by filthy rich people who spend their money like there's no tomorrow. There was a point that I withdrew myself when I thought there's no way I will ever spend like them and felt like a turtle shrinking itself in it's shell as I just don't have that much money to spend. However, there is never a bit of jealousy in my heart being around them. (But I do stay away if they start bragging because I just think there's nothing to brag when everything lays in the hand of Allah.)

err.. my baby's crying.. will continue later [sigh]...
