In life, we faced a lot of negativities every where, heard a lot of criticisms and sometimes we are the one who was criticized.
Life can be wonderful when you surround yourself with happy people but we can't always choose or please anyone.
I have faced a lot of negativities in life, there are certain times that I don't know how to deal with it or when to let it go. But somehow, I've learned how to do something to those negativities, to use it for something good, as motivation.
How I deal with Negativity and turn it into Motivation
I always Think how far I've become
There are times when I get down on myself and start thinking negatively about my current progress in life. I think about the last time I beat myself up about that very same negatives I've faced and how much I've changed since. This helps me a lot to think accurately and have positive outlook in life.
I Became Considerate
When someone criticize me, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. At first it was hard, but later on I will keep in mind that we can never know what someone else is going through in life. Maybe that person is goin through something in life and she just expressed her negativities and I happened to be there to receive it. That's how I became considerate towards other.
Made my Anger into a Reminder
Let's be real, when someone throws negative things or criticisms to you, you may feel anger within your heart. When I'm in that situation, I learned how to use my anger as a fuel or energy. It serves to me as a reminder to make myself keep in progress or my works to be better the next time. It's not that I wanted to rise up from someone else's level, but it is to make a better version of myself.
Use Negativity as a Challenge
We cannot please anyone in this world. Some may throw negative comments on us, and those negativities can make you down. I used those negative thoughts as a challenge that I can defeat. This way, I'm going to prove myself, I was wrong by letting myself down. I have to get up, face them with my chin up and go get myself and get things work out the way I want to.
Use Negativities as Constructive Criticisms in Disguise
I can say not all negativities are meant to bring you down. Sometimes it can be a constructive criticism. Before anything else, what is constructive criticism? It is offering a valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others.
Take the negativities as it is. Everytime when someone gave their negative opinions about my works or in me, I don't take it personally, instead I just take it as a helpful advice. Once you realize that there are people who are trying to help you to be successful, you can use that as motivation to be better in life.
Everywhere or anywhere you go, negativity is always around, ready to strike you anytime. You can get that im your own thoughts or with anyone whom you may cross-paths with. May it be a coworker, a family member or an old school mate.
No matter how these folks treat you, remember that youβre always in control of how you react. If you use those negativities as motivation, you can succeed in anything you want to do.
Let us keep ourselves motivated. No matter how hard life will throw against us always remember,
"You cannot control what other people thinks or says about you, but just keep doing your thing as much with integrity and love as possible."
