Recognizing What One Plus One Equals Makes All The Difference In The World

One Plus OneToday is a life lesson using math. What? You hate math? How about arithmetic? I think the numbers for this one are at kindergarten level so no sweat. Actually TWO lessons in one so pay attention.

Recognizing What One Plus One Equals Makes All The Difference In The World.

OK, you already know the simple answer is TWO. No extra credit for normal. That is NOT the lesson.

 

Pregnant WomanMany things in life the answer to the question one plus one, the answer is THREE. Things are synergistic together, the sum is greater than the individual components. This is a state of being positive.

It is in relationships, leveraging tools, good people that give you a boost and make you more than you were before, anything that you can leverage to be GREATER.

Keep your eye out for these THREE situations and cultivate more of them in your life.

 

Music ManUnfortunately in life if there is an UP there must be a down. This is where ONE PLUS ONE EQUALS ZERO.

This is the negative energy you can be picking up from adding a circumstance, adding a relationship that is a downer, adding an activity that sucks the living life out of you, even addictions to ANYTHING.

Be aware of when you are getting ZERO moments and eliminate THAT added ONE and find some positive ONEs to get those THREES again. You can do it, cause you have much music in you to play and that requires a bunch of THREE situations in your life.

Hi Gary,

For some reason, lost some of the wording on your post when it loaded, but I could get the idea of what the words were...from the content.  It is an absolute truth that sometimes when you add things together, you come up in the negative and would sure like to change the situation.

Gary, That negative stuff is a real downer.  I had a difficult transaction in December and it totally DRAINED me.  I'm happy to say it finally closed and I was able to move on.  Sometimes we just need to run not walk away from those situations.

Gary -- this makes so much sense.  I have to keep the TV off most of the time.. too much negative reporting.  I want to be aware of what is going on in the world, but there is a lot of negative stuff as well.  It can be difficult to find the balance.

Two "ones" will always make a difference, the lesson is in the way the experience adds up more than the total at the end. Thanks for the reminder to go with the positive.

Gary:  I'll second Jeanna's sentiments.  I could use some of that positive synergy referenced here.  This is a week for me where 1+1 is definitely 0.
