       It all comes down to the law of reaping and sowing. You harvest the fruit of what you plant. If we have a negative mindset, a negative focus, and we live out that in our character, we will reap negative, bad, uncomfortable results. If we are always correcting people, for instance, we will find that people generally don’t like us. That’s because they don’t want to be constantly corrected. Or, if we are like this we may find that they end up constantly correcting us in return, or being on the defensive, because we have been critical toward them. If we are always saying what is wrong, saying negative things, again we may find that people tend to avoid us. That’s because they have figured out that we are no fun to be around; all we see is the negative, and certainly, that’s no fun. Again, if we are always tearing down others, that’s no fun to listen to. It may be interesting at first to hear what the person has to say, but then once we understand that the person tears down and cuts on everyone, we come to know that’s a person we don’t want to be around.
