I have always been a “glass is half full” type of gal, always looking for ways to get things done. No is a foreign concept to me.
I have always been extremely frustrated when in my business or personal life someone say “No”, “can’t be done”. I choose not to accept that. There is always another way you just have to look for it.
Positive thinking has been around since the beginning of time, but so many people just give in to the negativity. In today’s world I certainly understand how easy it is. Negativity and bad stuff is one of the reasons I gave up watching the news 12 years ago.
It was right after my first son was born and all that was on at that time were crimes against kids, kids being kidnapped from their homes and let me tell you I was a wreck. So I just turned it off. I am a lot less stressed by things I ultimately have no control over.
My philosophy is that if it’s really important someone will try and discuss it with me and if it’s not to traumatizing I’ll get online and read about it. If it’s breaking news I will find out about it on Facebook.
Life is too short to live in the negative. I have enough to focus on in my life without worrying about things that are out of my control so I don’t pay attention to them.
I stay up to the minute on what is happening in the real estate industry and am very in tune with my local market. I want to know the best ways to assist my Sellers and Buyers.
Being positive draws people to you. People feel good when they are around positive environments. Positivity gives hope. You don’t ever want to be known as a drag or someone so negative that people don’t want to spend time around you.
My favorite book is “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne. It is amazing and all of the power of positive thinking. I’ve read it. I have it on audiobook and I get daily messages from her website.
Being a positive life force is a gift to those around you and, in my opinion, the only way to live your life.
