“Good people bring good things out of the good they stored in their hearts. But evil people bring evil things out of the evil they stored in their hearts. People speak the things that are in their hearts.” Luke 6:45
If someone speaks negatively and pessimistically all the time, that’s what’s in their heart. Don’t judge them but don’t go to them for counsel either. If you hang out with them it can bring you down too. Be careful! “Bad company corrupts good character.” (1 Corinthians 15:33)
Ask the Lord to help you filter your words by filling your heart with praise. If you want your words to be true, honorable, and right - it starts in your heart. “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians 4:8
