"When you talk about the good, you will draw out the good. If you talk about the negative, you will draw out the negative. It's up to
you." More often than not, we fail to see that if we treat people without respect, that negative state we experience is exactly the effect they will have on us. Yet we have the capacity to change our
thoughts about them and bring about a change in that dynamic we have with them. If we are unhappy with them, the change we require of them might happen quicker if it started within ourselves.
Byron Katie, author of the best-selling Question Your Thinking, Change Your World, writes about how our external world is nothing more than the internal we project. Our relationships with others, with
family, with parents or friends are our projections and nothing more. When we realize that what's in our lives has been created by us, it should help us recognize that we must not afford the luxury of a
negative thought.
