Everyone Has A Story - Is Yours Positive?

“Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.”

--Horace

Today I spoke with several people and heard an

assortment of stories. You may be surprised to hear

that many were downright positive.

Sure there were a few comments like. . .

Our Country is going to H--- In a Hand basket.

I’ve lost 200K in this financial meltdown.

They were few and far between.

What excites and challenges me are the majority

who see this time as an invitation to rediscover- - -

*What is really important, Love, Family, Friends.

*Reassess our work ethic.

*The challenge of being creative in all aspects of

our lives not just business.

*To start something new or change directions

where we usually go straight.

*A willingness to learn Something New.

*Sharing resources on many different levels.

Many people are talking about their New Year

Resolutions and how this year they are different

than the last few years. One person said “The

goals are not new this year, But they are broken

into smaller more manageable changes. And I

am keeping them.” Considering we are going into

the 4th week of January and some people don’t

even make their resolutions stick a week that’s

doing OK.

So how do we make this most of this overall

positive attitude?

Share It

Be a generous spirit and give a smile, a hug, a

handshake, a true complement or a creative

suggestion to other business people, family

too. Offer some help to a friend or colleague.

Make Your Creative Passions Work For You

Think positive thoughts, think about the things

that make you happy and then make them

happen. Remember, when you choose to be

excited, enthusiastic and happy you will be.

Laugh

Laughing releases endorphins, lowers blood

pressure, reduces allergy symptoms and

strengthens the immune system Kids laugh

over 300 times a day, they shouldn’t have

all the fun, should they?

Connect With Friends

We all need contact with others to keep our

minds and spirits energized. If you have a

challenge talk it through with a friend, they

can help you keep things in perspective.

An added benefit of getting in touch with

friends is enjoying some memories and

updates in each others’ lives.

Try Something New.

Step out of your comfort zone, be brave.

You will find life is more fun, and you will

feel fulfilled and ready to take on the next

challenge with renewed energy.

Reward Yourself

If the going gets tough, be a little selfish and

plan something for yourself to look forward

to. Each day can have its’ own small reward,

something special to reward your hard work

can fill you with energy.

In life, you are always filled with choices.

You may opt to have a pessimist’s view and

live a self-defeated life or you may decide to

take the optimist’s route and take a challenging

and fulfilling life. I hope for every ones’

sake you make a conscious choice for optimism.

An optimist in business will see more and better

choices for themselves and their business.

So when challenges do come, you as an

optimist, can and will concentrate on small steps

to work through it and then take advantage of

the learning experience.

This results in a different type of story to

share with friends and colleagues.

Have you noticed that most people don’t want

to spend time around complainers and

gloom and doomers? That their negativity

actually repels others?

People respond positively to optimists.

Optimists typically maintain higher levels of

subjective well-being during times of stress

than do people who are less optimistic.

In contrast, pessimists are likely to react to

stressful events by denying that they exist or

by avoiding dealing with problems. Pessimists

are more likely to quit trying when difficulties arise.

Optimists are healthier and live longer (they are

also easier to be around)

Why not look forward to success in all your

endeavors? Why not be resilient? Like everybody

else you are bound to hit lows sometimes but

don’t just stay there. Climb Out of that pit and

improve your chances of getting back on the

right track. Be a Positive thinker. And why

not inspire others to remove their dark-colored

glasses and see life in the bright side?

You Will Be Glad You Did.

By the way the reason I was calling people today

was because of something I read in my friends blog.

"One of the world treasures that is being consumed
every day now that deserves our recognition is
Pearlcium. That's correct. A simple white powder
that possesses the rare ability to regenerate the
human body and restore health and vitality to the
entire Being more readily than any other substance
known to mankind."
