I haven’t had much to say for awhile and even though it is due mostly to be busy with good things I find myself being disappointed at my lack of updates, I promise soon I’ll have some more uplifting posts coming..

February has been a rather difficult month for me projects being started, and trying to put away projects that just won’t end.. It’s these never ending bad ideas that put the greatest strain on the brain.  Sure the new projects have all the energy not to mention are still a bit shiny so it doesn’t feel like work even though it may be time intensive and fills your ever waking moments. But the old bad choices that linger and no matter what one may try to escape it keeps coming back each day harder to deal with than the last. I don’t really believe that any job or the idea for it can be bad yet I have come to learn that all it takes is for one person involved can make it bad and quickly if we don’t guard against it, soon everyone possesses a bad attitude not only about the job at hand but life in general and eventually that bad attitude turns into an open hostility towards fellow workers and then people outside the project.  Things don’t have to be this way and it’s really simple to avoid this, I use 3 ways first everyone gets a smile and friendly greeting even if I get no response or worse yet a negative response I keep being friendly. Secondly I do not join in with negative speech or thought patterns with those involved, this can lead to some lonely days but it is better than the alternatives. The third thing to do and the most important is to get involved with positive people in positive projects and to allow their good mood and friendly manner to influence you while shaking off the poison of negativity that may have gotten through your defenses and clung to you.. Ultimately though the best thing to do is avoid putting yourself into such negative spaces of thought over and over, which unfortunately in this economy is difficult, I have to believe nobody wants to be treated poorly or to treat others poorly who like you are just trying to pay the rent as best they can…
