Don't Listen to the Negative Voices

In a relationship the negative force generally is victorious over the positive. This "truth" is almost always the case. If one wants the relationship to fail and one wants it to succeed, you can be assured that the relationship will fail. How does it affect you?

Ignore the Negative
I'm not suggesting that you become an ostrich and put your head in the sand but rather suggesting that you limit negativity around you; especially people that are negative on relationships. There is not much value in a sitting around with relationship losers and commiserating about how their partners were schmucks. If you allow this unfiltered negative information to enter your subconscious, you are truly sabotaging your relationship(s). If you unknowingly slip into the negative syndrome, you will surely kill your relationship.

Dealing with a Negative World
Think about it, the modern day media thrives on negative stories and sensationalism. Are you letting their messages reach your subconscious mind unfiltered? Do you leave the television or radio on for background noise? If so, you are allowing all the negativity to reach your mind--unfiltered--stop it! Rather than become a relationship losers yourself, facilitate nurturing, love, and respect in all that you do. And, start by spending less time with your relationship losers friends.

One of the greatest books that made a difference in my life is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. He talked quite a bit about what you feed your mind. He suggested having your goals written and reading them every night before retiring and every morning when rising. He also suggested mental visualization exercises.

Try this, at night before you retire spend a minute or two with your virtual mastermind, persons in your head, living or dead, that you respect their opinion. Ask for relationship guidance of these luminary and let your own subconscious seek answers. This is surely better than using relationship losers for guidance.

Here's the rub for women; if you buy what John Grey says in Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus (and I do) then you will always be fighting the tendency to solve your relationship problems by committee--asking several of your friends for their advice--and this is an affront to trusting yourself.

Want wonderful relationships? Be careful to whom you listen...

  1. Good suggestions, Ed. Why did you pick the color pink?
    Hey, first I need to find/be in a relationship for any of this to apply. That is the most challenging step for me right now.
