Positive Alternatives

   
Rather than being annoyed, be amused.
Instead of getting angry, become curious.
In place of envy, feel admiration.
In place of worry, take action.
In place of doubt, have faith.
Negative energy is just positive energy
that's flowing in the opposite direction.

There's no need to fight or run away from that 
negative energy.  All you need to do is change its 
direction.  The more negative you are, the more 
positive you can be.  An automobile that can travel 
70 miles per hour to the east... can also travel 
just as fast when going west.  But first, someone 
must turn it around.

When you sense yourself becoming negative, stop 
and consider what it would mean to apply that
negative energy in the opposite direction.  Turn your 
sadness into caring. Transform your complaints into
useful suggestions.  Change your bitterness into
determination.  The energy is already there,
All you need to do is change its direction.
