Be Positive! Part 1

Be positiveBe Positive!

Positive is the word for the day. I want you to choose to be positive today regardless of your circumstances. There is something good to see in every circumstance. Speak positive words over your life today. Remember words have the power of life and death.

Choose to ignore the negative and starve those negative thoughts. Negative thoughts feed off of attention and focus. Use your energy to focus on the positive instead of the negative.

My blood type is B+. Only 9.4% of the population has this blood type. Therefore, I have always concluded that this is the reason for my positive outlook on life. (I’m joking of course, or am I?)

I have often been accused of ignoring the reality of life while putting a positive spin on my circumstances. While that may be true. It certainly allows me to cope with my difficulties without losing my mind. And deep down inside I have this confidence that is found in the following scripture.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NLT) Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

If we are always joyful and always thankful, I think this is the way to remain positive in all circumstances.

Positive thoughts generate positive feelings and attract positive life experiences. You can’t always be happy. But you can always be positive. Positive things happen to positive people.

Have you ever noticed that negative people need drama like oxygen? If you stay positive, it will take their breath away.

The positive person’s mantra goes something like this.

We are human. We are not perfect. We are alive. We make mistakes. We try things. We stumble. We fall. We get hurt. We rise again. We try again. We keep learning. We keep growing. And we are thankful for this priceless opportunity called life.

This is how a positive person approaches life. We don’t expect things to always be perfect or pretty. We just don’t let the imperfect things steal our joy.

Don’t live your life blaming people. Good people give you happiness, bad people give you life experience, and the best people give you memories.

Stay Positive,
