Friday Flush -- Positivity Test

I love the message in this quote.  I think it speaks so highly of the power of being a positive person.  It is truly a gift that I think people have to some degree, but I also know it is more of a choice that people choose to make.  They choose to find the positive and focus on the positive, and that controls the attraction of more positives to you. 

Have you ever met someone that complains about not having friends….or they say that all social situations are stacked against them….or they say that others must just be lucky because of certain situations….BUT the whole time you are thinking “ummm you don’t have friends because you are mean” or “if you didn’t complain all the time maybe situations would be better for you by finding solutions.”   They don’t see their negative energy actually is repelling people away from them.   The don’t see how negativity really does have power.

Have you ever just gotten a funny feeling when you walk in the room?  Or stand on an elevator and just know the couple is in the middle of a fight?  Or you can just tell someone had something very good happen to them that morning?  There is an energy that we carry….there is an aura.  There is no doubt that positivity attracts….it brings people in because people love it…they want to be around it and they want to learn it. 

We want to be that here for our team mates, our kids, and our parents, but more important we just should want that all the time.  We want people buying milk next to us in line to get a sense that we are having a really good day and it rub off on them…We want our families to be glad we are home from work because of the positive energy we bring….We want to be the top of the invite list, not the person after others declined, because we are sooo positive.

This weekend let’s try it….Choose a block of time….2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours….hours you are awake…..and don’t let yourself by negative or complain.   Then analyze it….did it affect you in a positive way?  Did if affect others?    Did you see how it is a choice?  You choose the time to do it….and if it worked, then why can’t you choose it all the time.

People that are successful and/or happy aren’t lucky…they are persistent and most of the time positive.  They are optimistic of a solution, and they affect others in a positive way.

Join me on the “positivity test” this weekend…email me your thoughts or a team mate….

Happy Friday!
