Staying Positive

Do you ever start your day waking up feeling great and ready to tackle what lays ahead for you? You have a big smile on your face as you face the world another day ready to succeed...it's a great feeling isn't it?! You're on Positivity Road and then all of a sudden you bump into Negative Nelly, Debbie Downer or Miserable Mary. That feeling of conquering the world quickly disappears and you're now left feeling just like Nelly, Debbie and Mary...negative, down and miserable.

Why is it that we let these people so easily bring us down to feel the same as them? The truth of the matter is that they don't bring us down - we let them bring us down. We can so easily and quickly get wrapped up in their world and feelings of negativity, that our feelings of waking up great and ready to conquer the world dissolves. Why do we let this happen?

I challenge each and every one of you to take a few deep breaths next time you encounter Nelly, Debbie and Mary. Stay positive, maybe say something positive and then be on your way. If anything, maybe Nelly, Debbie or Mary will get a taste of your positivity and rebuild their own from yours.

The key to a happy life is staying positive and happy!! Don't let anyone bring you down!
