Negative Peeps -Boot Em

Negativity is a seed, and seeds are sneaky. They don’t show up announcing, “I’m here to ruin your future.” They show up as a comment, a complaint, a cynical take, a “just being realistic” friend, a doom-scroller who can’t stop talking about how everything is broken. But if you keep letting negative seeds get planted in your mind, don’t be surprised when your outlook, your energy, and your results start reflecting what you’ve been feeding.

Here’s the good news: you don’t have to accept every seed someone tries to hand you.

Right now, a lot of people are lost. They’re anxious, angry, addicted to outrage, and looking for somewhere to dump their fear. And if you’re stable, disciplined, or hopeful, they’ll try to use you like a crutch. They’ll lean on your peace while refusing to do the work to build their own. They’ll want your attention, your time, your emotional labor—without any intention of changing their patterns.

Don’t let them.

This isn’t selfish. It’s stewardship. God gave you a mind, a spirit, and a calling—and you are responsible for what you allow into your orbit. If someone consistently brings chaos, cynicism, and confusion, you don’t need a debate. You need a boundary. You can love people without letting them plant weeds in your garden.

And yes, that includes the constant “the NFL is rigged” crowd. That mentality is a negative seed. It trains your brain to blame instead of learn, to complain instead of improve, to quit instead of grow. It’s ignorance dressed up as certainty, and it destroys discipline. Winners don’t need conspiracy theories—they need process, patience, and accountability. If someone’s whole identity is being angry at the refs and screaming rigged after every loss, that’s not insight. That’s poison.

Same goes for the political noise that’s everywhere right now. If someone is locked into blind allegiance—no standards, no honesty, no willingness to think critically—that’s not strength. That’s captivity. You don’t have to hate them, but you also don’t have to let that mindset shape your decisions. People who refuse to be reasonable can’t be trusted to build anything real with you—because building requires truth, humility, and the ability to adjust when you’re wrong.

So what do you do?

You start refusing negative seeds. You stop entertaining conversations that drag you down. You stop donating your peace to people committed to dysfunction. You choose optimism on purpose—not naïve optimism, but spiritual confidence. The kind that says: “God is still working. I’m still growing. My future is still bright. I will protect my mind. I will guard my heart. I will keep my circle clean.”

Your life is too valuable to be a dumping ground. Choose better seeds. Plant faith. Plant discipline. Plant courage. And watch what grows.
