Life found me, once upon a time, guilty of this ugly behavior. In my defense, my very low self-esteem blinded me in a cloak of jealousy and admiration. In retrospect the realization that I never had anything nice to say about anyone breaks my heart. Now that I find myself living above the low vibrational level it is even more evident to me when other people engage in this sort of unfortunate behavior. But realization is half the battle and years of growth and determination to fall in love with myself has lifted the veil of negativity.
The best assets you can acquire can only come from self-love. It's called the gifts of affirmation, complimenting and praise. Love each other and be playful. Because here's a little secret. When you speak ill of others no one listening is impressed. You are not making yourself look smarter, or better, or impressive in anyway. What you are doing essentially is actually making a fool of yourself but no one will (well except the rare exception) actually call you out and tell you to give it a rest.
You want to have integrity, respect, and love not just for yourself but for everyone around you. And the way to do that is rise above the vibrational level of negativity, name calling and verbally offensive slander. Are any of us really that perfect that we can put ourselves on a proverbial pedestal tall enough to bash someone else? How many times do you need to be told that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?
You don't want to be known as that person do you? Think of something nice to say about everyone. The more you practice complimenting the easier it gets and chances are you will eventually realize people are just people just like you.
What have you been saying lately?
