Negativity

Do you know anyone who is a "wet blanket,"
someone who dampens your brightest ideas by saying,
"That will never work"?
Take a sopping wet blanket,
place it in the linen closet atop dry bedding,
and soon you've got two wet blankets.
We can absorb the energy of negativity
if we lack a protective layer.
Eleanor Roosevelt said, "All the water in the world
can't drown you if it doesn't get in you."
We build that protective layer
by building our relationship with God.
The truth of who we are, and the greatness
we are meant to experience, is bigger than anyone
or any circumstance that would try to hold us back.
