Negating Negativity
by Dr. Ed Womack
Does it feel like everywhere you
turn there is some chaos or ca-
lamity going on? Are you living
on the edge of sanity constant-
ly? Is the noise of the Crabs
starting to really annoy you?
Well my Friends and family, if
you answered yes to any of the
above, it may be time for you to
write a letter to these undesir-
able people, places and things
and get like the Jeffersons and
Move on Up!!!
For some of us, it might literally
require am mental adjustment
to a place that helps you to
embrace the following:
I will NO longer be LIVING
on the corner of DEPRESSION
and DOUBT.... The rent is too
HIGH, the space is too SMALL
and there is no ROOM for my
DREAMS & VISION to grow....
PLUS, I need to get away from
the FOLKS next door - HATER
and NEGATIVITY.... My NEW
place is located on DESTINY
and BELIEF.... If you NEED
me, that's where I'll be... The
place is BIG and the CEILING
is so HIGH that I can touch the
STARS.... And I've got some
NEW neighbors - SUPPORT
and ENCOURAGEMENT.... All

will be RETURNED to SEND-
ER.... Sincerely, THE NEW

You have to activate and ele-
vate the positive. You have to

transform yourself and begin
making decisions about who
you will allow in your circle of
influence or not.
This is especially significant for
your inner circle. People are in
your life for a season and a rea-
son and some of them are there
for treason. If you're moving
toward positivity, it's going to
hurt, but you have to let some
people, places and things go in
order to achieve your ascent
out of the R.U.T. (Repetitive
Unproductive Thinking)
Some people want to remain
around no matter what you
do. They want to see if you are
going to make it and will ride
the coattail if
you do. If you
fail, they want to
point it out and
say I told you so.
That's why it's
so important to
make a conscious
decision as to
who you actively
allow in your
circle, especially
a close circle.
You see YOUR
journey is not
intended for everybody you
encounter and make acquain-
tance with. They can't see what
they can't see and they can't see
what you see unless you show
it to them.
Many people surround them-
selves with yes-men. People
that don't keep them account-
able and are not accountable to
themselves.
Sometimes on the rebound you
have to get physical and bring
it back so that you can get
back from broken. It requires
a positive attitude to begin
to navigate and negate the
negative.
You see when you're the
smartest person in the room
Dr. Dennis Kimbrough says it's
time to go into a new room.
Why is that?
I'm glad you asked, it's very
simple... you can't grow, be
sharpened and honed to
success if you alone are the
very best. If everyone looks
up to you and you become the
end-all, do-all, there will be no
reason or motivation for you to
get better or for you to grow.
Einstein said if you do the same
thing and expect a different
result, that is insanity. Growth
requires doing new things,
looking at the things that you've
done in the past reconsidering
them to see how you can get
better. you are trying to get to a specif-
ic destination, the most import-
ant thing is getting there. That
may require making sure your
baggage is correct.
The next most important thing
is getting there with what you
need. Finally getting to your
destination with what you want
is critical. Consider your needs
and your wants in moving
forward and taking people and
things with you. Sometimes it
costs more to take more stuff
and sometimes the cost is a
price that you are unwilling or
unable to pay. In life get rid
of the extra weight that can
prevent you from being the
greatest for of YOU.
To rebound, it is primary and
To negate the negativity that
comes in life, sometimes we
have to leave some baggage
behind.
As you plan for a vacation,
we have learned to weigh the
baggage and determine wheth-
er or not we have to pay a fee
based on the weight of the bags.
If you are a proactive person,
you have to consider that before
you get to the airport. You typ-
ically will review the baggage
allowance and make sure that
you are within that qualifica-
tion criteria. That means that
you may have to remove some-
thing, that means you may have
to leave something behind. If of paramount importance to get
rid of negativity. I like to look
at it as a lawn full of beautiful
grass that has weeds all in it,
marring the beautiful emerald
experience. You have to pull up
the weeds that are not enhanc-
ing your purpose. You should
pull up the weeds that are mar-
ring the landscape of beautiful
green grass.
That is what the negating the
negativity is all about. When
you negate something you
cause it to no longer, have pow-
er, purpose or place. Negativity
should no longer have power, a
purpose of place in your life.
