Cancer of the Soul

What is negativity?

Oh, I’m sure you think you know the answer to that  question, and you’re correct, but not FULLY correct. Sometimes it’s insidious, and sneaky, and just as soul-deadening.

I’ve allowed it in lately, without even realizing it was there. I thought it was hurt, I told myself I was right and that my pain justified my … my what? Pain, hurt, loss, none of these ever justify ANY response that is negative.

I was manipulated. I was used. But most importantly, I perpetuated the negativity without even realizing it. I gave it more power. It grew, and spread, like a cancer.

I hate cancer.

What do you do with cancer? You cut it out. All of it. So I’m doing that now.

No more manipulation. No more allowing my emotions to be used against me, or against others without my even realizing it. I drive this car. No one else.

Don’t let people seep their negativity into your life. Don’t let cancer in. It always kills the host, if you don’t rid yourself of it fast.
