If You Want Positive, You Need To Be Positive

I have long been a believer that what you put out into the world comes back to you.

If you see the glass as half empty all the time...if you constantly focus on what is going wrong...if you are mean to others, disrespectful, and have no empathy....guess what?

It will come back to you.

BUT

If, on the other hand, you see the glass as half full, focus on what is going right, are kind to and respect others, and show empathy, that will come back to you also.

Often tenfold.

I choose the latter. I choose to be positive. And I choose to surround myself with others who do the same.

This is not a new concept. Unfortunately, in today's world, it seems to be an uncommon one. But we can change that!

There is a book called “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale. It's been around a while. Originally published in 1952, it has seen many re-publishing iterations over the years and was on the New York Times bestsellers list for 186 weeks – 48 at #1. It is a generational read that has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide.

And with good reason. Read it (or re-read it) and then put it into action.

Every morning, I start the day by reading more than 40 quotes from that book as part of a daily affirmation of the importance of staying positive.

Because I am a believer that what you put out in the world comes back to you.?

If you make the choice to be positive instead of negative (and yes, it is YOUR choice)…if you choose to be happy instead of unhappy…if you believe in yourself and believe that you will achieve whatever goal you set for yourself…it is amazing what happens to you.

You literally feel better. ?Physically, mentally, emotionally.?

And that will have an impact on everyone around you.

I challenge you to find the positive in every situation, no matter how difficult. I challenge you to not only choose to be happy but spread that positivity and happiness to everyone you encounter.

You'll be amazed at the result!
