I like being surrounded by people who have very little fear and very little respect for the past - not in a negative way, but in a positive way. They appreciate everything that's been done, but they constantly look for how to do it better.
If you have doubts about someone, lay on a couple of jokes. If he doesn't find anything funny, your radar should be screaming. Then I would say be patient with people who are negative, because they're really having a hard time.
I have been able to tap into all the negative things that can happen to me throughout my life by numbing myself to the pain so to speak and kind of being able to vent it through my music.
You're going to go through tough times - that's life. But I say, 'Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.' See the positive in negative events.
Everything that's written about me has such a negative taint. It just has a life of its own, like an avalanche, and I don't think there's anything I can do to stop it.
I have walked away from friendships when I've realized that someone smiles to someone's face and talks about them the minute they walk out of a room. I have no room in my life for that kind of negative energy anymore.
To all the other dreamers out there, don't ever stop or let the world's negativity disenchant you or your spirit. If you surround yourself with love and the right people, anything is possible.
I can still love an ex as a person, regardless if the breakup was bad. I would never wish anything negative on them. It takes more energy to hate them than to wish them well.
I was once asked, 'How do you manage to always be in a positive spirit?' I replied, 'It is because I cannot afford to live with the emotional pain that comes with dwelling on negativity.
No one can take your joy away from you, unless you willingly give it to them through repeated negative interpretations of your experiences.
The ones who would push you to engage in negative activities are the same ones who would laugh at you if you are drowning in the pool of misery.
Never let your negative circumstances blindfold you from seeing your daily blessings. There is always something to be thankful for in your life. Being alive is absolutely one of them.
Living a less complicated life starts from preserving the positive things matter in your life, getting rid of the negative burdens in your mind, and staying out of people's business.
A lot of people live miserably not because their lives are worse than others, but because their repeated negative interpretations of their experiences bring greater pain to their minds than their physical problems.
One of the worst times to give up on yourself is when you are surrounded by negative circumstances. Your life is too precious to ever allow it to become a prisoner to trials and tribulations.
There are too many positive things unfolding in your daily life. However, you must try not to let your negative experiences distract you from noticing them.
Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.
I have a lot of anxiety about the red carpet. As a woman, it's uncomfortable to be in a position in which people are judging you, looking at what you're wearing, and criticizing you - not necessarily in a negative way.
I call my therapist every other day. It's not a one-stop shop. You have to push away all that negativity in your head. Face it, name it, let it go.
Whereas cognitive constraints on negative emotions can reduce distress, freeing positive emotions from such constraints can enhance religious experience.
I don't think people in Hawaii like negative ads, whether it's done by an independent group or whether it's done by the campaign itself.
