Surviving the impacts of negative media

Watching the news can be hazardous to your health don't you think so? And yes, there are really more bad news than good news it seems!

Imagine the uncomfortable feeling of becoming a victim (be it physical or financial or traumatic victim) someday. This will have a negative effect on your outlook in life.

And this is something all of us should prevent from being sculpted in our mindset. The surroundings have a big impact on you. How can you think and grow rich if you're bombarded with messages that relates "how difficult life has become" or "how poor most of us has turned out to be?"
We are all little souls so it could be difficult to be influential on the big stage. Maria Duval says that you can't change your environment, but you certainly can control your mind - through visualisation.

Yes, I advise more people to visualise good things in life, and let go of unhappiness as best as you can do it. I know it sounds unrealistic. Yet that's how the mind works under this big Universe.

Just visualise and imagine, just like you are a little kid again, visualising one day you will step on those fluffy white clouds. Imagine your home as a palace, your simple meal as fine dining gourmet, and your nearby park as your favorite vacation spot. Just imagine. Subconsciously, your thoughts will transform the images into their physical components. It's just that magical, and simple too! So just visualise it!

Personally I feel the media has powerfully influenced everyone of us around. It is nearly impossible to get away from the media influence unless one is totally shut off from the real world. Some of these could be very negative in outlook.

When we grow up in a negative environment, we tend to acquire the traits and characteristics of people around us. For example, those kid soldiers in unrest regions of the world were taught that they were saving the world and saving the truth of the religion. I think this is extremely saddening because their minds had been infiltrated with wrong negative influences.

This just goes to say that anyone who joins in the company of a like-minded group will have a big chance of being influenced by the personality of that group. So what can you do if you're surrounded by people who deviates from your way of thinking?

Maria Duval says that you can't just avoid them. Simply control your mind and learn how to shield out pessimistic comments or suggestions. Moreover, you should be with people who have the same principles and ideologies as you do. You will be more encouraged to continue your dreams if you have a support group or mentor who will prod you to pursue your goals despite the setbacks.

You have the power to make your dreams a reality. Now relax and show the world what stuff you are made of.
