With so much negative drama going on in the World today many people are asking, how can I truly make a positive difference. Whether it be as a parent, spouse, friend, neighbor, acquaintance, coworker, business owner, public personality or just simply living as one with humanity on this beautiful planet called Earth, the difference that you and I can make is by healing within!
You and the other 7 billion souls on this planet originated from ONE eternal source which we may individually identify and differ as God/Goddess, the Universe, Source, Spirit, Creator, Father/Mother, Lord and so on. Yet, at our core essence of Being we all are as one.
Many people are so focused on what others are thinking, saying or doing that they begin to engage in selfish acts of degradation such as judgement, competition, manipulation, pointing fingers, entitlement, intentional sabotage with financial, physical, emotional and mental aggression, they engage in ignominy, slanderous gossip and falsely complain about everything and everyone who outperforms them or chooses to live a life with integrity, purpose and outstanding merit. This includes depleting Mother Earth of her natural resources primarily for profit which escalates into senseless acts of war on many levels; personally, professionally and globally solely based from fear, darkness and separation due to their own disconnection from Source.
When you’ve become the target of a fiend who delights in the lower vibrational acts of abasement, it’s can sometimes be difficult to maintain the high road or turn the other cheek. There will be moments when you’ll want to react and reflect the same lower vibrational energy towards them or you may feel the need to defend your honor. It may even cause emotional, physical and psychological issues that causes you to withdraw from others or cease participation in the space, activity or environment which always brought you joy prior to the incident. You’ll find yourself within, reflecting and questioning everything and everyone connected to the situation. You may even begin to question yourself and your faith especially, if you’re not accustomed to this level of hostility. More often then not, it has absolutely nothing to do with you. It’s just them reflecting their inner turmoil at your expense.
The Universe is always working for the highest-good of all involved even if you’re not privy to the Divine’s goal or end-result. When you notice yourself in an environment or situation that clearly is not a vibrational match to your own, know that it’s the Universes way to bring about the necessary change to create balance and order. For that to happen the Universe will work harmoniously through you to initiate those changes by raising the vibrational energy within and around that space. Since you emit a high vibrational energy, it’s that level of high energy that is illuminating the darkness for all the others involved. This in-turn is perceived by those vibrating at a much lower level and causes them to maliciously react from their depths of fear, darkness and separation due to their own disconnection from Source.
If you are given the opportunity over time to observe the Divine intended goal or ultimate outcome, you’ll see that what you initially perceived as a negative experience was really a blessing in disguise. You’ll feel celebratory, honored and blessed for this experience you may have previously even cursed and caused you so much pain, knowing it truly was for the highest-good of all involved.
Each one of us are an extension of God/Goddess created in the likeness of our Creator’s image yet, instead of educating, empowering and connecting in unity; many people are spending all of their time, energy, money and resources on conquering, depleting, creating separation, instilling fear and disempowering one another directly or indirectly the World over. When the only time you should ever be looking down on another person is when you are helping them to get up!
People who are genuinely happy don’t spend their time and energy creating disruption in other peoples lives or society. They display peace, compassion, collaboration and empower one another into becoming the fullest expression of who they where Divinely created to be! They come from a space of love and light and therefore dispel the darkness of fear, lack and limitations in their interactions with humanity and the World. They experience freedom with respects to love, health, prosperity, creativity, joy and harmonious right relationships regardless, of what’s going on around them.
True joy, peace and freedom only comes from love and that love is the selfless unconditional love that you hold for yourself and others within. It is seeing everyone and everything else with a heartbeat on this planet as you.
This is our school of life and we are here to expand yet, to expand means to grow and to grow, we must heal. To heal is the enlightenment to release all that no longer serves you through forgiveness. This is where you’ll discover unconditional love which is the purity of light and within that light is beautiful, magnificent YOU as your Higher-Self, Angels, Guides and God/Goddess.
Healing takes great integrity, courage, honor and character. It’s knowing that God personally called magnificent, beautiful YOU by name that gives you the freedom to make a positive difference in the world regardless of your current education, finances, title or position. When you honor you by remembering who you are, you’ll discover the Divine riches of the Universe, Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants as ultimately, we are all ONE! Namaste’
The next time you are faced with a negative person or situation …
I hope you dance! ;-)

Implementing Positivity Into Your Life!
It’s amazing for me to realize that we, at our core are one collective consciousness. It made me view negativity like a cancerous cell affecting the whole. I always taught my kids that the most unlovable kid they meet is usually the one that needs their love the most, and to be kind to everyone, no matter how they act. Now they teach that concept to their children. This article is a wonderful example of why this thinking is essential for the collective good of this world. My favorite quote within, “The only time you should ever be looking down at someone is when you are helping them to get up.” Those are words to live by. Thank you!
Release all that no longer serves you. There is no better advice to be given. I am still in the process of writing letters and burning them, but I have written so many in my head I think the universe hears that I have forgiven or am ready to forgive that things are changing for me already. Some deep seeded things that I have been holding onto for years have just dissipated and are gone without even writing letters. For the highest good of all I know that the things that happened to me had to happen in order for me to grow and to learn and to ascend. I have found myself feeling grateful for the learning experiences that have made me who I am today.
I am reminded of some advice I received long ago. When you face hatred or negativity of any kind, kill it with kindness. An example would be a difficult person in the workplace. Rack your brain to find loving kind things to do and say. Every time they deliver a negative remark or action, just have no reaction if in that moment you can’t be kind, and send love anyway.
I hope you dance!!!
I choose to dance!! ;-)
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they’re worth taking
Lovin’ might be a mistake
But it’s worth making
Don’t let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance!!
I love you, Dear Dr. Maxwell!!
Thanks for this article. It’s hard to remember to give love to those that are causing difficulty in our lives, but I always feel better when I remember this. Thanks for the reminder!
Well written! The darkness is our learning and growth opportunities.
A very true and powerful article. We are usually are tested and challenged in the areas we need to experience growth. Stay positive in the storm for you have already won. Enjoy you journey!
Reaching darkness is a blessing as I see it. It gives us the opportunity to grown. I would love to help others understand this.
Your article was just what I needed to hear today! Thank you!
A quiet mind is able to hear intuition over fear! Our emotions can either defeat us or bring us strength. By honoring and respecting ourselves we find true happiness and then exude it to those around us.
This is so true Dr. Maxwell!!
Not always do we see the Divine intended goal or end result and regardless, hind site is always 20/20 where we are able to reflect and see the blessings in the midsts of the negativity in disguise. Sometimes it takes a long “passage of time” in order to gain a new perspective.
The next time I experience a negative situation in my life even though it may not feel very celebratory in that moment … I will DANCE!! ;-)
Dr. Maxwell,
I like that … “I Hope You Dance.” And yes, people all around us are hurting and many try very hard to mask the pain. In these moments and situations I find it is better to share the situation with someone whether it’s a close friend or even a business partner to know how is best to respond or even if to respond at all.
Error on the side of forgiveness, realizing that everyone has a bad day. That negativity may turn around next week to be that great deal, the “Blessing in Disguise” you mention.
We are Loved and We are Blessed … we just may not be able to see how, yet. ;-)
Hogwash! Bah! … Not really, just trying to be negative and make your day! ;-)
Thanks for such a wonderful article as much that is written is so true. We have been taught too much individuality, too much fear, too much uncertainty and too much negativity. Yet, there is much overlooked positive beauty around … if only we paused for a few more precious moments.
Dr. Maxwell,
I definitely agree … It is when we have reached the darkest moments of our lives that we see the light.
I totally agree with everything you say Dr. Maxwell, and I teach the same.
I feel happy and blissful and I am blessed with helping many people each day. But (and it’s not a big but) I am continually, through my own spiritual growth which has been phenomenal and ongoing of course, stepping up into my greater-self personally AND in my work professionally; and it does sometimes cause disruption to those closest to me although, that is not my intention. Even though we don’t look to disrupt, it happens. Great article!
Yes! In the Epistle of James we are reminded to “count it all joy” when we fall into situations of any kind.
When Christ is at the helm of your life, then you know that God has a wonderful and unique plan for your life and that all things happen for a reason according to his season, his timing and your faith.
