Hello. Brett Campbell here. Today, I want to talk about a topic on how you can remove and avoid negativity from your life forever. Imagine a life like that, where you wake up and just everything that seems to happen is just happy and joy, and there's just positivity everywhere. Of course we've got the critics who will say, "Brett, you can't live just a positive life all the time." I get that. I get that, but imagine being present to the thought of looking at things from a positive standpoint. Imagine looking at that glass and it is half full, instead of half empty. Imagine being able to look at the positive. It's raining outside, for example. Imagine being able to look at that and go, "Well, the earth is getting a shower today.

Whether it's a person, a thing or a current circumstance in your life, I want you to decide. Does this thing get to flourish, or do you filter it away and no longer give it any energy, time, resources? What can happen is if you're giving time, energy, and resources to a negative thing, person, or circumstance, it's going to grow. Of course it's going to grow. You water a weed. The more water that a weed gets, the bigger the weed starts to grow. We need to start thinking, "How can we as human beings, taking our own personal responsibility on board here, how can we start to think, and how can we start to remove, and even better, how do we avoid negativity?
