B Positive

A while ago there used to be a song out with the lyrics:  “What the world needs now is love sweet love.  No not just for some but for everyone.”
Well, wouldn’t that be nice?  It’s a true statement but what is also true is:  “What the world needs now is people with a positive attitude.  No not just for some but for everyone.”

A positive attitude has its focus on Yes rather than No.  Yes I can, Yes we can.  That would be nice.  The question now is – How do we find, build and keep that positive focus?   I have three tips to share with you.

“After my house burned down, I saw the moon more clearly.” – is an old Zen saying.    And just the other day I heard someone say – “I am not mad at the roses that have thorns.  I am thankful for the thorns that have roses.”
This leads me to Tip #1……..  Look for the beauty and enjoy the season that you are in.   You see Tip #1 is not an instant quick fix or wave of a magic wand but more like a retraining/shift of the mind.  And yes, the glass is always half full.

ATTITUDE IS EVEYTHING!

Ever had a moment when you were so excited you wanted o Hi 5 yourself?

Try this exercise – The next time you walk past a mirror give yourself a compliment, then give yourself a Hi 5!  Tip #2……… Encourage yourself!!!!!
Now you’re smiling about you – smiling to you.  More song lyrics:  “When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you!”

Tip#3………… Focus inward.  Focus on yourself.  WHAT????????? I know we always hear people say the opposite.  Yeah but there is a reason why focusing on others doesn’t always work.  Frankly, sometimes you don’t even like these others BUT you always love you.  So here’s what you do.  In any given situation, take a moment to step INSIDE yourself to imagine how you’d like to be spoken to or treated, then speak to or treat others in like manner.

CONCLUSION:  A positive attitude is attractive and contagious.  Here’s why finding, building and keeping that positive, Yes rather than No focus, will always be a BIG WIN for you!  You’re doing your part to make the world a nicer place and regardless of the type of responses received you will reap good benefits.  Think of it like a bank account.  Every opportunity you take to make positive deposits builds up your account and I guarantee you at some point you will get a great return!!!!
