This is a true story about a woman I worked with for several years. I'm sure we all know at least one person who cannot find a good thing to say about anything or anyone. Your typical "miserable" person who could have $10 million handed to her and would complain that it wasn't $10 million and $1.
This was such a person.
The sky would be blue,
temperature warm and
flowers in full bloom. She would point out one small cloud that loomed in
horizon, that it was two degrees warmer in another town and that
petals on
tulips were wilting prematurely.
She had nothing good to say about anyone we worked with, and I thought we had a great group of people.
I eventually started to avoid her because try as I would to get her to find something good in
world, she would strike down my every effort.
When we would learn of anything new in
workplace, she would immediately react with anger and start venting her opinion to anyone within earshot.
I decided to distance myself from her because I could not raise her energy and she was bringing mine down.
Science has proven that
way we think, feel and react has an impact on our health and physical well-being.
When someone is constantly sick or suffering from one ailment or another, this may often be a reflection of what is going on in his or her thoughts.
Of course, there are always exceptions; however, I have observed that many of those who live in a constant state of negativity, and who react to many situations based on their judgments, suffer more maladies and chronic illnesses than those who don't.
I often contemplated this theory when thinking of my co-worker and I wondered if some day she would suffer a fatal heart attack or terrible illness because she was so filled with anger and negativity.
