How many people always focus on the
negatives in life rather than looking at positive elements? I know I am a
culprit from time to time however as an unwritten resolution for 2014 I am
trying to look at the positive elements in my life. For one, positivity this
will allow a person to achieve a greater level of happiness in their day to day
life. Additionally who wants to be a sad sack all of the time? This morning I woke up and discovered that
something I was planning on for a couple of weeks was switched around so that I
had to change around my plans. Well the old me would have become really upset
and sad for a little while. Did I do that? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Instead I dealt with
my initial upset and then decided that I was going to see what I could do about
it. After much thought I realized that this switch may actually benefit me and
I decided to move on with the day.
As one
final hurrah before the start of the spring semester, my sister and I had lunch
plans so we went to my favorite Thai place and we had a nice relaxing lunch.
After that I wanted to show her the local trendy thrift shop and we decided to
split up and find lots of cute clothes. In the store I immediately began
finding lots of great deals on name brand clothes and accessories such as Nick
and Mo, Forever 21, Nordstrom brands, as well as Coach. To my surprise all of the items I was finding
were ½ off the ticketed price which meant I would really save a lot of money! I
basically got my items for $5 and under! This is AMAZING and I attribute it to
my positive look on the situation and the day. Who knows if I would be open to
shopping if I continued being upset about the situation that I previously experienced
earlier in the day.
I would really like to challenge you to try to see the
positives in your daily life as you really will see that it pays off in the
long run. Remember smile each day and
try to bring a little bit of sunshine to the people around you it really will
pay off!
