       A good way for us to detect if we are suffering from a negative attitude is by examining what we say on a daily basis. What is coming out of our mouths? Are we constantly tearing down others, saying negative things about them or negative things about the company where we work or even our own church? It is really revealing when you examine what you say. Often, we don’t even realize we are saying negative, wrong things until we stop and think about what we are saying. We get so use to being negative. I have found that a good way to combat negativity is to give people the benefit of the doubt. People can be so quick to judge others, and most often they don’t look at themselves first in the mirror to make sure they are in a position to judge. A lot of times we will talk about things going on in the news, right? We may see the action of a celebrity or politician and be too quick to judge. Instead, we should try to think positive and give the person the benefit of the doubt. Time will tell the true motives of the person, and often someone we’ve criticized really wasn’t that guilty to begin with.
