A New Day - What makes more sense?

By
Managing Real Estate Broker

 

Do you know someone who is always negative, always looking to bring other people down, always self-centered, or always just rude? (I bet you do!) There are, unfortunately, people in the world who are like this. We must know who they are and act accordingly with them. We must not allow them to interfere with our positive attitudes. We must not allow them to make us doubt ourselves or change our goals. We might not be able to change who they are or what they do, but we certainly can control our actions and reactions to them.

We are the only one that decides how our life will be; one day, one week, one month, one year at a time. Focus on the positive.  

Always remember that the kind of life you have is a choice you make, every single day. You can choose to live a rich, meaningful, joyous life with ever higher goals. Or, you can choose to drag your feet in resistance and rebellion.

Which makes more sense? And what is your choice going to be as you begin this New Day in your life?

"This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad it it." Psalm 118:24

Negative folks are simply time not well spent.  Avoid at your own risk.

A negative person is a good reason to switch to another company.

Make mine bright and sunny over dark and rainy. I know sometimes we can't avoid these around us that are constantly negative, but can assure sure these times are rare.

Attitude is everything! Limiting your time around people who have poor attitudes will benefit you greatly. We all know people like this but it's the ones you're not expecting to run into during your day that you really have to look out for and not let them suck the positive vibes from you.

Dave Ramsey spoke to us at Family Reunion this year and said, You can't soar like an eagle when you only walk with donkeys.

So get the negative nellies out of your sphere of influence and then you can succeed.

Some say telling the truth is being negative that we need to alway paint the picture of "everything is great"

Focus on the positive, great advice Beth and Richard, we have little control over others but we do have to power in how we react to others.
