2025/09/02 Enthusiasm is infectious but so too is negativity. If others around us can believe theyre right to be adopting a negative or pessimistic attitude toward something they believe deserves it, then we can find ourselves doing the same, for our own protection. Try not to get caught up in someone elses gloominess. They might believe the end of the world is nigh, but you dont need to subscribe to their thinking. Where you sense negativity, step back and remove yourself from it.
