To me the negative considerably outnumbers the positive. I know that's not very optimistic thinking but reality is not usually optimistic.
While all of us have dreams. It is when we have dreams that we feel very passionate about that we can do something to make those dreams a reality.
However, a word or two of advice. You will be tempted to go to others for their advice in making that dream(s) a reality. That's all fine and good. Choose wisely when it comes to whom you go to for that advice. Ideally, you want to seek out the advice of those that have achieved or are achieving their dreams.
Unfortunately, individuals typically pick those that are not on any track to achieving their own dreams or have tried, failed, and gave up on making their dreams a reality.
It is those individuals that will bring their bad habits, bad ideas, bad opinions, and just plain bad karma to you and your dreams. This is where things start to go bad for you.
THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING!
How to correct this?
You avoid those who have the bad attitude. If you have spent any amount of time around anyone that has a good attitude and someone with bad attitude then you know who to avoid.
What if you are already wrapped up or mixed in with someone that has that bad attitude and is dragging you down?
Easy. You walk away! No! You run away. Don't forget to thank them for their time. If they ask what happened, why you are walking away, tell them you are taking their advice and moving on. Then leave! RUN AWAY!
IMPORTANT: I work "taking their advice" I don't mean you have to act on it!
Thank you for your time,
