You promise yourself. “THIS is the day. This is the day I am going to remain positive.” Or, “THIS is the day I am not going to complain.” And then, five minutes after you show up at work, you’re filling your cup with some hot beverage and the delivery starts.
“Did you hear? Glen Beck is ending his show on Fox. Nobody knows who is going to replace him.”
You might your tongue. You know it doesn’t fit your promise to say what you are thinking about Glen Beck, and his show ending. Then you scoot on past the IT area where you hear the passionate discussion about the birth origins of our current President. “Well, I heard Trump on the news casting serious doubt on the Obama citizenship question.” Ah. AUGH. Your promise is teetering on the edge of the cliff. You ask yourself, “Who, just who would it benefit if I voiced my own doubts about the planetary origins of Trump, himself. And that HAIR?” The positive thing isn’t working out so well. And it hasn’t even hit morning break yet. Then! You remember. A friend of a friend sent you that adorable, free down-loadable PDF that is over the moon positive. Where did that go?
It’s here. http://www.kindovermatter.com/2011/01/freebie-alert-free-positive-thoughts.html
My friend, Amanda, operates Kindovermatter. A .com that exists to celebrate kindness, promote positive sharing and be generous in spite of economic trends. Following that link will take you to a poster that will inspire a different sort of conversational trend…where ever it is you spend your time. As antidote, as companion to the conversational reality around you…remember genuine positive thoughts are game changers. GAME changers…even IF Tiger Woods is not favored to win this year’s Masters…you can win with your own promise to sail through a day with nothing but grace.
