Chapter One

NEGATIVITY

Negativity is one of the harder emotions to fight, and it takes a great deal of inner strength to overcome it. Negativity is not easily avoided, but it can be deflected and defeated. You must refuse both emotional and physical negativity. Emotional negativity can be thwarted by learning to recognize the moment when a negative thought process begins to enter your mind, cutting it off immediately, and replacing it with the opposite positive thought. In other words, you must view the glass as half-full instead of half-empty. For example, focus on the negative aspects of a beautiful painting can be conquered by looking for the hidden beauty that you might miss when only taking a quick glance. Acknowledging all the work required to create each individual brush stroke and how difficult it would be for a beginner to attempt such a thing could also help you look past superficial flaws to appreciate the beauty of the painting. Once you train yourself to turn the negative into positive, you will be surprised at how easy it is. Soon, the habit of looking for flaws first will change. Your default way of thinking will begin to lean more towards the positive, thereby creating a much healthier thought process for your everyday life.

Others can also inflict negativity upon you. You need to protect yourself against this. When you begin to work to change your own thoughts, you will be more aware of negativity in others. One way to handle this is to excuse yourself from the negative person's presence. When people sound off about any topic, even though they aren't angry with you directly, they are conveying negativity. A day of running into five people like that can make you feel like you have five pianos tied to you. You become emotionally tired and drained; sometimes another person's negativity will cause you to feel negative about things. This is why deflecting negativity is important—so it won't rub off on you.

Once you've changed your own thought process and have begun to think only positive thoughts, the negative thoughts become things of the past, and you are better able to protect yourself. When others are inflicting negativity, you can easily counter their attitudes by keeping your mind strong and affirming the opposite as a positive in your mind. You don't need to berate another for their behavior. You can, however, point it out (if you feel so inclined) and move on. Not everyone is open to constructive advice. You are the better judge of those in your life and whether you need to censor your communications or not.

Physical negativity is behavior that enforces emotional negativity. When people become too interested in the personal lives of others, boundaries get crossed. Spreading gossip is the action that can sometimes precede the emotional pain that one feels from being the subject of gossip. The subject is then confronted by both the negative actions of others and their own emotional pain.

Negativity's sole purpose is to hurt others. It feeds and grows in very dark places—and like a virus, it makes people feel so awful that they pass it to others in an effort to alleviate their own sadness. Most of the time, negativity is passed on by the carrier, because they don't realize that the negativity they are spreading is actually connected to their own unhappiness. Unfortunately, the more they try to disperse that negativity, the more it comes back to them. This pattern can continue to go around in circles until one of two things happens: the person experiencing the negativity learns to recognize and deflect it, or they completely defeat it.

I realize that there is much negativity in this world, but I choose not to have it in my life. I choose to be happy. That being said, everyone—at some time or another—experiences the downside of negativity. There are low points in our lives when we don't have the energy to deflect or defeat negativity. One thing I can do at these times is to try to avoid projecting this negativity onto others. This may mean that I avoid interactions with others. When I can't, I do my best to bite my tongue, politely nod, and move on. Sometimes that's all I can do.

I've found that the more aware I became of others' desires to maintain the drama of unhappiness, the less it affects me because I realize it has nothing to do with me and more to do with what might be going on in their life. Awareness has been the key that has helped me to take a step back and not let the negativity of others infect me. I now recognize that these tests of negativity are their lessons to learn. Someone else's negativity has nothing to do with me. The more I understand this, the easier it is to create a barrier to protect myself. Awareness is power.

Thinking or saying something like, "If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all" has a way of determining the future. We do tend to get what we wish for. Thoughts are very powerful. Positive thoughts can help create positive change.

Negativity is very difficult to overcome. Some people use negativity to protect themselves from being hurt. They are not always willing to let go of the protective barrier they have erected to prevent personal hurt.

Sometimes negativity is about revenge for past hurts. It may not even be directed at the person it is being inflicted upon. Sometimes you just happen to be the one in the vicinity at the time. Remembering this when it happens is one way to realize the idea that awareness is power. If you can recognize what is really going on, try to introduce positive energy into the situation and leave. Negativity cannot survive in a positive environment. It either dissipates or has to move away. Darkness cannot survive in light; negativity cannot survive in the positive. When you introduce light into a negative environment, the negative person will either follow your lead and become more positive, or they will leave. Either way, you have chosen not to let negativity ruin your happiness.

Chapter Two

MANIPULATION

Understanding manipulation is tough. Knowing how terrible I would feel if I had manipulated another person has always made it difficult for me to detect and accept that people willingly do it. I've always given others the benefit of the doubt—even when my gut told me otherwise. One of my biggest challenges was learning to listen to my gut instincts. Even though my instincts have never led me astray, my own ego-consciousness has. As it turns out, that was my weakest link.

Recognizing that I contributed to being manipulated is even more difficult to deal with than actually being manipulated. My contribution was not enforcing my boundaries and allowing someone else to control me. Avoiding being manipulated by others involves learning from the past. This means understanding not only why something happened but also why I was blind enough to allow it.

You know the routine! Many people today are still experiencing this sort of subtle deception. Why?

Everyone comes into this life with lessons to learn. Some lessons are harder than others, but one thing is the same—and that is that all the lessons learned help us to experience personal growth and shape us into the people we are meant to be. I have often asked myself, "What possible path could I be meant for that would require me to be manipulated by others?" Well, one very good possible reason would be that I wouldn't be able to share my experience with you, and if I didn't have this very valuable insight, then my writing here would be lacking a vital part. Based on my own personal nature as I know it, I might also have experienced the manipulation on a smaller scale then what might have happened in my later years, which could have been quite catastrophic.

If, however, we do not learn one of life's lessons the first time, we will keep repeating that lesson until we do learn it. I can honestly say that I've had the displeasure of not learning the first time around—and when the lesson came around again, the experience was stronger and harder to deal with. After going through the difficult emotions again, I wished I had learned my lesson the first time; but I'm glad that I at last learned. I think the components and severity of the situations increase with each time the lesson repeats itself.

The hardest thing to get past when you have been subjected to manipulation is the shame and guilt you put on yourself. As hard as it is at that time to look ahead, it's better to realize that we are human, and at one time or another, we might be taken advantage of—for no other reason than the learning experience itself. Think of it as being a creative mistake. We all create what we want; sometimes we make errors. It just means we go back to the drawing board and create to our liking.

We need to learn not to judge ourselves so harshly. I know this is a hard task—I still struggle with it, although not as much as I used to. Wisdom and time have taught me that I am not to blame—but rather that I need to strengthen and enforce my boundaries.

I was quite ego-conscious from the first time I experienced manipulation, and I thought that it wasn't going to happen to me again—lesson learned. How wrong I was when it came around a second time.

When we don't understand or learn a lesson the first time, we tend to blame ourselves. The idea here is not to blame yourself. Believe me; I know that is a hard request! Instead, focus your energy on figuring out why you allowed the manipulation to happen and how to recognize and prevent it in the future.

Did you allow yourself to be manipulated because of a greater need for something else you wanted, and even though the package wasn't perfect, it would do, because you were growing impatient? Don't sell what you deserve and need short. Never settle! Everything that you desire is available—you must maintain your vision and focus on attaining it.

If you find that there are people in your life who are constantly draining your spirit and emotional state of mind, it might be time to reassess what contribution or effect (positive or negative) they are having on your life. Within every relationship, there should be an equal exchange of give and take—and that applies to the very innermost desires of your soul. No one person deserves or should be subjected to anything less than that. Your inner soul's needs are the most important needs to be met. If your soul is injured, that injury affects everything in your body and everyone in your life. Your soul's needs aren't just for your own happiness, but for your existence as well.

Please do not continually beat yourself up about why something has turned out the way it has. There is no benefit to doing that—benefits lie within changing actions in the future, and that is something to take pride in. If nothing else, you can create a more prosperous and happy future. What could be a better outcome than that?

As difficult and emotionally draining as some of these lessons can be, without them, we will never reach our ultimate goals. What is your ultimate goal? Well, that is different for every individual, and it depends on the lessons we chose to learn. You may notice that many people have relayed the experience that doors just opened for them, they were led to a certain outcome, and things just flowed. I think when you experience the path of least resistance, everything will just flow—and that is how you know you are on the right path. When you are on the right path, you will prosper in contentment, faith, abundance, and acceptance.

The reason a positive person experiences life as they do is because they have chosen to create a more prosperous and happy future. This is the result of changing how you view things—you are able to interpret and affect the outcome of a situation.

My two hardest subjects to write about are negativity and manipulation—mostly because I don't like to give a lot of energy to either of these. It's not that I don't think these feelings are an important part of creating who we are as people; it's just that there is no benefit to focusing too much energy on negative emotions. Yes, some of us have to learn about them the hard way—but once the lessons are learned, what results is a positive outcome. I've found that often when others are relaying hard times, they usually have a success story that has come from it—the success being that they got through the difficult time and were better for it.

Really, though, if we learn to take a step back and try to make a positive assessment, things might seem a little less stressful on our minds and hearts.

Dwelling on things in the past will only keep the source of the negative energy within you—and that, of course, will keep it in your mind and in your life forever.

Chapter Three

DISCRIMINATION

It's unfortunate that even with all the advances we have made, we still experience discrimination. Who is anyone to judge?

Discrimination comes in many forms, but they all types of discrimination have one thing in common—people are judging others based on their own sense of what is considered valuable. Who do these people think they, are and what gives them the right to determine the self-worth of others?

This is an ego-related thought process—an "I'm better than you" attitude. Sometimes this attitude is born from a false sense of superiority, for whatever reason such as money or stature. It can also come from intense insecurity—sometimes people will attack others in an effort to make themselves feel more worthy.

Another source of discrimination is bad experiences—and those experiences are then held against anyone who bears a similarity to the negative experience. These bad experiences can also be passed on from others. Your environment in your formative childhood years plays a major part in who you are. Sometimes our families and friends can be the instigators of our biggest lessons and the causes of some of our not-so-great traits. People don't just grow up with discrimination inside them; it takes conditioning of some sort, and it can take a lot of work to turn this kind of negativity around. People don't want to readily let their discriminatory attitudes go.

Feelings like discrimination can become protective barriers to many. When people project this negativity onto others, it takes the focus off of them and can become a defense mechanism. An example of this is the child on the playground who feels picked and then finds someone they believe to be of lesser stature to pick on. Discrimination can be, like negativity, a shield to hide behind—and there are more people than you would think who actually hide behind these shields.

If you are one of the people hiding behind this type of shield, then you know that without your shield, you can feel completely exposed and very vulnerable.

The effect of this shielding is that others will not get to know the true person behind the shield. In an effort to protect ourselves, we have also distanced ourselves from having very real and honest relations with others that could possibly provide much more reward and happiness than hiding.

I have noticed that some people put themselves in a never-ending cycle of unhappiness—not because they don't want happiness, but because on some level, they feel they don't deserve it. This couldn't be further from the truth. Sometimes we judge ourselves too harshly—

The people I have come across who feel they don't deserve happiness end up continually pushing away any people or situations that could result in happiness, because experiences from their past that have left them feeling unworthy or unloved. They sabotage their own happiness because of this. These people are unhappy with how their lives are turning out, but they do not seem to realize that they are the cause of their continued heartache. I think that on some level, they know this, but attribute their unhappiness to the idea that what life is actually bringing to them is what they deserve. This could not be further from the truth; they themselves are attracting unhappiness. The people I've known who do this to themselves don't deserve their unhappiness as much as they think they do.

On the flip side of this, there are people who don't judge themselves harshly enough and take advantage of others without feeling remorse. Surprisingly, these people are the ones who judge others harshly, although they seem to act without conscience. It's been my experience that the people who continually punish themselves are the ones who are committing the lesser evils compared to the ones with the over-inflated egos.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

Data protection declaration

Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing procedures below do not state otherwise.
"Personal data" is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Responsible person
Contact us at any time. The person responsible for data processing is: Ansas Meyer, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück Deutschland, +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, mail@preigu.de

Collection and processing when using the cancellation button
If you have entered into a contract via this platform for which a statutory right of cancellation applies, the platform provides you with a cancellation function (cancellation button) through which you can submit your notice of cancellation immediately.
When using the cancellation function, your personal data (name, email address, details identifying the contract or part of the contract you wish to withdraw from, and the time (date and time) of sending the notice of withdrawal) will only be collected to the extent that you have provided it.
The purpose of data processing is to provide you with the statutory option to withdraw from your contract and to ensure the proper processing of your withdrawal.
The platform operator collects your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, namely the legitimate interest in ensuring the general accessibility of the statutory withdrawal function on the platform. You will receive a confirmation email from the platform operator acknowledging receipt of your notice of withdrawal.
The data is then transmitted to us by the platform operator.
If the contact relates to a contract already concluded between you and us, this data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Otherwise, data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, to fulfil a legal obligation to provide an electronic withdrawal function.
We use your email address solely to process your notice of withdrawal. Your data will subsequently be deleted in accordance with statutory retention periods, provided you have not consented to further processing and use.

Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders
When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your order as well as processing of your queries. The provision of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data will be shared, for example, with shipping companies, dropshipping or fulfillment providers, payment service providers, service providers for order processing, and IT service providers. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.

Duration of storage
After contractual processing has been completed, the data is initially stored for the duration of the warranty period, then in accordance with the retention periods prescribed by law, especially tax and commercial law, and then deleted after the period has elapsed, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.

Rights of the affected person
If the legal requirements are fulfilled, you have the following rights according to art. 15 to 20 GDPR: Right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability. You also have a right of objection against processing based on art. 6 (1) GDPR, and to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, according to art. 21 (1) GDPR.

Right to complain to the regulatory authority
You have the right to complain to the regulatory authority according to art. 77 GDPR if you believe that your data is not being processed legally.
You can lodge a complaint with, among others, the supervisory authority responsible for us, which you may reach at the following contact details:

Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen Prinzenstraße 5 30159 Hannover Tel.: +49 511 1204500 Fax: +49 511 1204599 E-Mail: poststelle@lfd.niedersachsen.de

Right to object
If the data processing outlined here is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)f) GDPR, you have the right for reasons arising from your particular situation to object at any time to the processing of your data with future effect.
If the objection is successful, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests or rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
