Positive/Negative
|
If we were to separate the world into the positives and the negatives, which side would you be on?
Would it depend on the day? Would it matter who had just left your office? Would it matter if you had someone cut in front of you on the way to work? How about if you’re feeling poorly – would it matter then?
Most of us are both positive and negative, depending on what’s happening in our lives – but the way you live your life – your “default” state, if you will, makes a big difference in the success you’ll achieve in your life.
If you’re more on the negative side of the equation, you’re likely to see yourself as a victim – someone who “never gets an even break,” or someone who is constantly at the mercy of others.
If you’re more on the positive side, you’re likely to see a life full of wonderful opportunities, great relationships, meaningful options.
In other words, the negative people color every experience with a negative brush – while the positive people see the opportunities in each encounter.
We’re all going to have bad times and good times – that’s life. We always remember the words of the old sage “This too will pass.”
But when those times are over, we all tend to return to either a positive or negative state. Let’s make certain we return to the positive side.
Let’s make sure we’re a positive, not a negative.
