Everyone is out to get me
Everyone is evil
Nobody has good intentions for me
Nobody is kind to me
You see that look they’re giving me?
It’s nasty
And it’s aimed at me
That person was rude to me
Did you see what they did to me?
Nobody likes me
Why is my life harder than everyone else?
I already know what this day will entail
Not happiness
Because nothing good ever comes to me
It never fails
I’m not valued
I’m not cherished
I’m not loved
Because I only see malice in a broken world
Reflection
Your thoughts and feelings have the power to create your life experience. Whatever you believe to be true for you shall be true. Are you responsible for creating turmoil in your life? Do you see the glass half full or the glass half empty? Do you find yourself easily offended by others' actions, remarks, and behaviors? If you focus on malice, you will find it.
“Do Away with the opinion I am harmed, and the harm is cast away too. Do away with being harmed, and harm disappears.” — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 4.7
If you habitually look for malice today, you can start challenging yourself to adopt a new and more productive perspective. Look for the good in people, things, situations, and your interactions with others; practice this daily and notice how your life transforms.
