Negativity Or FEAR?

Why do people focus on the negative so much? Is it because it's good to gossip about 'stuff'? They say that 'good news never made a paper sell'. Is it because people believe that negative things truly affect how their life is?

I think its plain fear.

People focus on the negative because they're scared of what's going to happen next. What circumstance, government policy, interest rate hike, petrol price or new tax is going to affect my life NOW? It's pretty sad that the majority of people believe that the quality of their life is dependent on outside influences.

I also think that people are scared of what's 'not normal'.

Now, we're not 'normal' - thank goodness. My wife and I are entrepreneurs; a big word I know, but it simply means that we've taken control of our lives by starting our own venture. We've recently had a family member; however, tell us that we're 'delusional', that we're not thinking rationally, that we're just 'acting happy'. Now we know that we're not any of those things, so why would someone in our family who loves us, tell us those things?

I think it's the 3% rule.

3% of people in civilized countries are outrageously wealthy because of one thing. They don't follow the herd, or the masses - whatever you want to call it. They take responsibility for their own actions and live their lives 'on purpose' to create what they want. The other 97% are the people who wouldn't dare do something out of the ordinary because of what their neighbor and family would say. The 3% don't care what their neighbors or family would say and just do it anyway.

The job of the 'herd' is to keep you in the herd - so they quite readily tell you that taking risks is dangerous and that you need to think rationally and realistically. Let me tell you that if it weren't for the unrealistic people in the world, NOTHING would ever get done, would ever progress or ever change. THANK GOODNESS for unrealistic people.

Be unrealistic, be irrational, be scary, live your life, get things done, create your abundant future - and don't let anyone try to steal your dream by telling you you're wrong.
