The Power of Positivity

For centuries people have believed in the power of positive thought. While I also believe in fate throwing the dice around and chance having just as much input in each of our lives, I do believe in the power of positivity.

Earlier today I posted a simple Facebook Status update that read “Send some positive waves this way would you? Thanks.” It hasn’t been a great couple of days and it seems I’m hearing about a lot of random bits of roughness in people’s lives and that effects me so that is why I posted that.

Mr. Happy

What I wasn’t expecting was the sudden and ongoing outpouring of heart felt, kind and smart ass comments that my friends have left me on that status update. They were exactly what I needed to crack a smile and push on through the day.

When you see someone that seems down or might benefit from a nudge of positive encouragement be sure you take the time to do so. We’ve all got a million distractions for every minute of the day, but don’t underestimate what a simple reply to a friend might do for them. I talk a lot about passion being contagious, but I think I need to add positivity to it as well.

You all truly made my day. Thank you for the positive vibes.

  • I am approaching 2010 with an incurable, tough-minded optimism. It's going to be a challenge to maintain, but I'm determined.

    I'm learning to filter out the bad news and stimuli that gets me down where possible, and to surround myself with things that remind me of who I really am.

    Every day I look at the man in the mirror, stare him down, and tell him two things:
    1. You are better than you think you are.
    2. You can do more than you think you can.

    Make it a great day!
  • Seems like a lot of people have been dealing with some rough patches lately. You've proved once again that if you contribute to a community, its members will support you when you need them most. The cumulative impact of a bunch of people's contributions really add up.
  • Great post, CC. You're absolutely right. Even the friendly email exchange we had yesterday got me inspired to think of more creative endeavors to pursue.
    Motivation, Inspiration, Creativity and Empowerment are all things that we must be mindful of to distract us from negative thinking.
