Negative thinking can be as poisonous to one's life as a literal poison would be. It cripples potential and robs people of achieving their dreams and goals. Some of the negative effects include depression, mental disorders, and physical ailments. To overcome negativity, one must monitor one's thoughts and speech, replacing negative thoughts with gratitude and positivity. Seeing the good in every situation and focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses can help shift one's mindset. Spreading positivity to others can also boost mood and outcomes.

3. "If someone puts
a drop of poison
in your water…
…would you drink it?"
The obvious answer is
“NO"!
Chemical poisons that we
can see, taste, touch, and
smell can be fatal.
Fortunately we are intelligent enough to know that we
do not ingest poisonous substances…
…but what about our mind ?
Repeatedly, people are poisoning their minds with negativity,
and though we cannot see this negativity, it is just as fatal.

4. Negativity
is the poison
that kills dreams!
And we need to
stop it
before it contaminates
our lives.
Negativity
starts with
negative thoughts.

5. Negative thinking cripples a person's life to
one degree or another. It robs people of the
opportunity to live up to their full potential and of
achieving their greatest desires and aims.
It condemns many to the rat race of mere
survival— drudgery day after day—because
they don't think they can achieve anything
more. It brings depression and other mental
disorders, and that in turn leads to physical
disorders.
Negative thinking results in negative,
destructive criticism‚ which results in
destruction. Destruction is a strong word, but
that is what it results in, because the potential
that has been there for good, for greatness, or
for success has been destroyed.
So many people want to do great things. So many people dream of being a
person who changes the world through some great work written, a great deed
of courage performed‚ or great acts of compassion rendered to those in need.
But the negative feeling of "I just can't do it" robs people of that chance to
make good on their dreams. (Excerpt by Maria Fontaine)

6. How do we eliminate this poison?
Monitor the thoughts that you allow into your mind…
... every thought!
If you find yourself
thinking negative
thoughts…
…think again.
Strive to think
positive,
empowering,
and supportive
thoughts.

7. Just as you monitor your
thoughts, monitor the
words that you speak.
Listen carefully to every
word that is coming from
your mouth.
Watch for excusitis.
Excusitis is a disease
that causes people to
constantly make
excuses.
When you hear yourself
complaining, stop
yourself immediately.

8. Create a vocabulary
of a successful,
positive, inspiring
individual.
Be passionate in
your speech and
express your
enthusiasm with
your words.
The energy of the
words that you
speak is a powerful
force that is
creative.

9. There is so much to
be positive about!
You are so valuable and
that should raise
your self-esteem,
and self-value!

10. Part of the process
to shift
your thought energy
from
negative to positive
is to be grateful
for the gifts in your life
and to focus
on what is great
in every situation.

11. Be appreciative
and show appreciation
to others.
Gratitude
will attract to you
more of the things
that You desire.

12. Negativity
is the anchor
that holds you back.

13. Cut yourself free
today
and be
the most positive,
optimistic person
that you know!

14. CLOSED OPENED

18. YOU
CAN
SEE
ALL
THE
COLOURS
AND
EVERYTHING

21. The power of praise
and positiveness is
contagious.
So be a carrier!
If you've been negative about yourself in the past,
turn over a new leaf in your life and become
someone who is so positive that you'll be able to
influence others' lives for the better.
What was once your weakness
can become your strength!
