Awareness of my own specialty is to be free from negativity

Common Problem: When I perceive negativity in others, I find myself very easily influenced by it. I then react negatively to them and am not able to maintain my own positivity. All my specialties remain hidden in such a negative atmosphere and I continue to be negative too. Solution: Like a rose I need to maintain my originality and uniqueness while being amongst the thorns. Instead of blaming others and their negativity for my own negativity, I need to practice being positive and working with my original qualities. Then I will never complain but will always use my own specialties.
