Here is your Friday story:
Let’s Be Positive
Recently
I’ve noticed that people seem to be fascinated by the negative.
Reality TV shows are more successful when they pit people against each
other, and people like to gossip about sad/unfortunate things that
happen to others.
Often
when people receive excellent customer service, or really like
something they’ve read or watched, they rarely say thank you or let
anyone know how much they appreciate their efforts. However, when
people are dissatisfied with something, they go out of their way to
loudly criticize, complain and let everyone know how unhappy they are.
Why
is this? I don’t understand why some people seem happier when they are
negatively judging and criticizing then when they are acknowledging and
appreciating. I wonder if they forget that in doing so they are hurting
actual human beings, who have feelings and usually have good
intentions.
I
believe that most people are positive and find the good, but for some
reason don’t say anything. Maybe they think that others will step up
with appreciation, so they don’t need to make the effort. If we all wait
for others to give the positive, nobody will do anything, and only the
negativity will be heard.
So,
this month I’m focusing on finding the good, being appreciative and
acknowledging people and their efforts. Actually speaking up, making
the phone call, writing the note, posting on social media, and thanking
others for what they do.
It’s all about the positive and the good.
How about you?

“It’s really important that you feel good. Because this feeling good is what goes out as a signal into the universe and starts to attract more of itself to you. So the more you can feel good, the more you will attract the things that help you feel good and that will keep bringing you up higher and higher” – Joe Vitale
