If you've had it with Negativity - Step Away from it & Step Up to a better place.
Negativity - yours and your tolerance for others - it's your choice.
Yes - we all have bad days and, from time to time, most of us take our bad-day frustrations out on other people. We all find ourselves in bad moods. Most of us, from time to time, feel the need to complain about everything from the weather to our next-door neighbour. These things happen because we have developed the habit of wanting things 'our way' and the habit of being discontented when things don't happen 'our way'.
Most of us want control...control of situations, control of other people, and self-control.
Isn’t it interesting that, often, we crave the ability to control others while, at the same time, we set aside increasing our self-control?
It seems to me improving self-control does more to expand our ability to influence other people positively than any other strategy.
