Ok, so it is safe to say positives and negatives attract. Right? Well think about this. Many people describe one as being a positive person or a negative person. But do we really know what that means? I, myself, would be considered by many people to be a negative person but let’s look into it a little further. First, a positive cannot exist without a negative. How would you know what is positive without first knowing the negative?

Yes, I admit that I focus on the negative instead of the positive but does that alone necessarily categorizes me as a negative person? I believe while one may recognize the positives that surround them that does not change the negatives. The negatives in your life are the things that should be turned around into positives. But how can you do that if you pretend they do not exist or wait on God to fix them.

Now we all know that God has the power to fix all things but let’s not be nieve. God helps those that help themselves. For example, there are several people now in search of a job. Well let’s just say those particular people are considered to be positive and they focus on the good things in their life like still having a roof over their heads, food to eat, or even their good health and strength. Well unless they pay attention to the negative and focus on finding a job than all those positives could easily been turned into negatives.

My point is, why can’t a person notice and be thankful for the positives while focusing on turning the negatives into positives without being considered a negative person?
