With Tickles and Sparkles #7

Greetings from Julie,

I would like to talk about how you can create a positive out of a negative situation. There are times we feel we are surrounded by negative people and situations that bring us down. I am sure every one has gone through a time where you just do not know how to change a situation that is not going well. I know that I have had some experiences lately that have had me wondering why I am going through this, what is it that I need to learn in this situation? And why did I attract this to me? I know that everything happens for a reason. So I ponder the situation a little deeper until the answer comes to me. “I have something very important to learn here” So I ask the Universe what is it that I need to learn? And the Universe replies “TOLERANCE” I say Universe what do you mean by that? Well Julie we mean that you have to change your way of thinking about the situation. You may be wondering by now what this situation is? Well I have taken a job as a delivery person. It is not a bad job but there is a lot of negative energy with many of the people I work and deal with. I never know when I walk into a business how I will be greeted. Sometimes people smile and say hi and others they give me a look like why are you here. I have felt anger and bitterness at several places I deliver to. There are several times when I get to work in the morning I feel as if I have been hit with such bad energy I just can not wait till 5:00 pm rolls around so I can go home and be in a positive space. I am a pretty happy person and I think that work should be fun and enjoyable. I feel that we should enjoy each day and not waste it by being in a bad mood because of the job we do.

I was talking with a co worker I asked him why are you so angry and in such a bad mood. He said it is just the way this business is. Unfortunately! The word UNFORTUNATELY is one of those works I can hardly bare to hear! Let alone here it several times a day. That word is a stopper word it is one of the most negative words I have ever heard. I thought to my self what would compel person make a career of something that makes them so angry. I continued to think about this through out this day and asked for guidance in why I am here doing this job that doesn’t make me feel good inside. Well the answer is we all have to exist and make a living. Sometimes people give up on themselves and do what ever they can to exist. As the years go by so do their dreams and aspirations. This leaves them hardened and angry giving up all hope. Well fortunately I am one person who is not going to give up on my dreams or on love and happiness in my everyday existence. For I believe that I have learned that I am a worth while person and that I can exist by making changes that will bring me happiness in this life. I have learned the way to tolerate the situation by knowing that noting is written in stone and that this too shall pass. I know that by saying my affirmations and saying I love you in my mind to others before I reach my destination. It will change the energy and may even bring happiness to the people I encounter each day. I say affirmations as I drive to do my deliveries and as I drive to work in the mornings because I believe it helps me to stay positive and shields me from negative energy.

I know that you too have at some time in your life had to deal with people who are not in the best of moods or are rude to you. It is not easy to stay positive when someone is rude to you. So when you start your day say some positive affirmations think about happy things and say I love you in your mind before reaching your destination. When I do this each day I hope that I will be able to contribute something to this planet that will help in healing the anger we face each day whether it is with co workers, friends or family.

We all have situations that we tolerate in this life time the decision of how long to do this is up to you. I know I will be working on my wish board to create a better, better, and better way of making a living and being happy doing it.

Here are Some Ways You Can Raise Your Energy to Maintain a Positive Attitude and Be Happy in the Moment.
