Colossians 1:10 "That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God..."
You can’t make positive choices for the rest of your life without an environment that makes those choices easy, natural, and enjoyable. So protect your spirit and potential from contamination by limiting your time with negative people and the environments they inhabit. Be you and not them!
Other people will invite you to act like victims and whine and moan about the unfairness of life. They will ask you to agree, to offer condolences, and to participate in their grief. However, when you join in that game of negativity you always lose. If you are to increase in the knowledge of God don't let their spirit rub off on you.
Create a positive mental space for yourself even when you're alone. Make it a point to give up all the thoughts that make you feel bad, or even just a few of them that have been troubling you, and see how doing that changes your life. You don’t need negative thoughts. They are all lies. They solve nothing. All they have ever given you is a false self that suffers for no reason.
Be fruitful in every good work. You can do that if you don't allow yourself to be trapped in an atmosphere of negativity. Good works don't come from whiners, only witnesses. Which do you choose to be?
