Dear Magnolia,

While I’m not a morning person per say, I try to stay upbeat and go into work with a good attitude about the day. But I have these two coworkers who always seem to be mad at the world. They give attitude to me and customers all the time. And if I snap at them they immediately complain to my superiors. Yet, they can snap at me, give me snarky comments, and I just hold it in and let it go. How do I keep from losing my temper and splashing hot coffee in their face some day?

Hey Bianca,

Just by trying to stay upbeat and go into your day with a positive attitude, you’re already putting a vibe out into the world that improves it! You don’t want to be the person who drags down the energies around you because you can’t match the higher vibrations of others… you want to BE that high vibration!

The problem is that there’s just those people who can’t break the chains of their own negativity and rise to see how much better life is on the positive side. They have to wallow in their unhappiness every morning, and they want you to be miserable with them, as well as anybody who walks in the door needs to be unhappy with them.

You are on the right track by simply trying to rise above. Meet them with kindness, love, and light, and the universe will bring it back to you. Splashing hot coffee in faces won’t bring you love and light, it would probably only bring you some kind of overblown assault charges… and NOBODY needs that energy in their lives! Just do what you can to be the good vibes, and it will come back to you tenfold, I just know it.

Good vibes always,

Hi Magnolia,

My sister is getting her master’s degree. She doesn’t think she needs to walk the stage even though she’s getting the degree. To her it’s just a piece of paper, and not a big deal. Neither one of our parents even had a chance to go to college, let alone graduate or get a master’s. They are so proud of her for accomplishing so much, but she’s just brushing them off. I want to tell her that she should think about their feelings, maybe, but I don’t even know what to say!

Hey Hector,

This one’s a tough one! On one hand, all accomplishments should be celebrated and made joyous, simply because that is the spirit and energy we should put into the world! On the other hand, we shouldn’t try to force our will on others, because even trying to force positive can turn out negative. It’s totally crazy how positive energy can become negative, right?

If you think it would mean a lot to your parents, it’s worth at least bringing it up to your sister. Holding in negative feelings isn’t helpful and encouraging celebration can’t hurt either. Ask your sister why she wouldn’t want to celebrate her achievements. You might find that she is holding onto something negative that needs to be released and let go. Maybe she’s afraid that giving in to one would mean another, and what she really doesn’t want is a party.

Above all, remind her that putting positive into the world creates ripple effects far and wide and that we should all want to be that positive movement!

Good vibes always,

Magnolia Jade
