Eliminate the Negative

no-manHave you ever noticed how, when you’re in a group talking, there always seems to be someone who just has nothing constructive to say and they tend to dominate the conversation with oftentimes unrelated trivial drivel? They tend to drive a wedge into a discussion that causes the group to disburse unless they are gently brought back to the light side!

The unfortunate thing is, they don’t realize how much their attitude reflects how their life unfolds. When you think that the world is a dangerous place or your life sucks, what do you get? You get a dangerous world and a life that sucks.

You can change that outcome by changing the way you look at things.

God’s light sets fire to the spirit of man

“As a magnifying glass concentrates the rays of the sun into a little burning knot of heat that can set fire to a dry leaf or a piece of paper, so the mystery of Christ in the Gospel concentrates the rays of God’s light and fire to a point that sets fire to the spirit of man.”  ~Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation, Pg. 150
