These two right here are true definition of no grey area lol. I’ve learned over the years that in order to keep a positive attitude you must surround yourself with positive influences. Negative thoughts and words are extremely dangerous when you allow them to get out of control. As I stated in my previous post of #faithoverfear, you are what you think. Let me explain.... I always thought in my younger age that I was a pretty great singer. I won medals and badges and even trophy’s for most talented but as I got older because I didn’t have the support and mentorship that I needed, the words of the world and my own negative thoughts took me out. OUT!! I wanted so badly to sound like someone else that I stopped singing for a long while. When I decided to start back in music I LOST MY VOICE!!! It got that bad. I had to have a camera go down my throat to take a look at my vocal chords and was on meds and couldn’t say a word not even whisper for 30days. I went into a depression. It was really hard. I sing everyday. I hum all the time. Taking that away was like losing a part of me. That was the last straw. I had to apologize and forgive myself for my own thoughts, my own words. It’s one thing for PEOPLE to say things about you but it’s something else when you do it to yourself. Those words hit different. Stronger. Harder. I had to change my way of thinking, speaking, and how harshly I criticize myself. I began to congratulate myself. Pat myself on the back. Encourage myself when no one else would. Prayer became vital for me. So when you feel, hear, and see yourself going down a negative path, stop yourself and denounce the thoughts. Remember Philippians 4:8. It’s a learning process so don’t be too critical on yourself. Old habits die hard. ITS OK!! —————————————————————————————————————————————————————— #positiveovernegative #positivevibes #positivemindset #positiveenergy #thinkpositive #staypositive #testimony #spokentruth #speakpositive #inspiration #inspire #nothingcanstopme #overcomer #positivevibesonly https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCX2LegSyk/?igshid=1jy5d5489fl28
