Enough with negativity. 

You don't need it! 

And you don't need to promulgate it.

Be done with it. 

What is the good of sharing bad news? 

What do you gain? 

Perhaps some comfort. 

What do you give? 

Pain and concern to someone else who will also need comfort. 

And so you pass on the need for comfort.

Has there not been enough negativity in the world already? 

Where is there a perceived need for you to pass it on? 

This is not denial. 

No one is denying anything. 

Let others draw others into a spider web of negativity, if they must. 

But not you. 

Not you.

 Let others gossip about the bad news in the world, 

but not you. 

There has to be an end to it.

I ask you to not spread negativity any longer.

Long ago I recommended that you stay away from newspapers and the news on TV.

 They are loaded with negativity. 

That's what sells newspapers. 

The commercials on TV are filled with danger warnings. 

And you get pulled into the trap. 

You fear illness, crime, war, and so you continue to focus on them.

 Get your mind away from negativity. 

Get out of the gutter, beloveds, or the hospitals, or the war zones.

If your employer pains you, must you tell your friends about it in great detail?

If you have a teacher who shouldn't be a teacher, 

do you have to continually talk about the teacher. 

Why bring your friends in to commiserate?. 

Maybe surprise the teacher with a good word from you. 

It may make no difference to the teacher, or it might. 

In any case, it will make a difference to your psyche.

If your day went wrong, 

must everyone know?

If you feel cross, 

do you have to show it or mention it or tell why?

How many times do you tell about unhappiness from your past and such? 

Express your anguish once, and be done. 

Don't keep it alive. 

Don't repeat it, 

and don't talk about it even once again. 

Be like the Phoenix and rise above the ashes.

When I say to get out of the past, 

what do you think I mean? 

You nod your head, and say, "Yes, that's right. Let's leave all the past behind." 

And then you pounce on some unfortunate news, 

and add to the fire of anguish from the past.

 Beloveds, the past is even a minute ago.

Remember you are here to raise the vibration of the world.

 Raise it high.

 Get out of the gutter of unhappy thoughts. 

Do not advertise woe. 

It is not necessary for you to report and repeat bad news. 

There are enough others to do that for you. 

They may think they are supposed to,

 but you, 

you know you're not.

I am not telling you to be a Pollyanna. 

I am telling you to hold your tongue when you have nothing good to say.

 Change the side of the court you are on. 

Your mission in life is not to pass painful news on 

and to make sure everyone knows about it.

 That smacks a little of gossip.

Be a reporter of good news. 

Report miracles.

 Report the abundant goodness of people on Earth.

 Report the bonds that people make.

 Report heroes. 

Report kindness. 

Tell nice stories, beloveds. 

Tell about friendship.

 Tell about inexplicable kindness.

 Tell about a stranger who smiled at you

 and not about the one who glared at you.

 Tell about your dreams. 

Point out a rainbow.

 Expand the horizons of the people you talk to.

 Expand your own.
