Do you have fired up energy or draining energy?

Every time you see them you try and avoid them like the plague because they are just so negative and draining.  To them everything is a crisis…everyone and everything is out to get them.  Nothing works and everything that is not going right in their world is someone else’s fault…never theirs.  They never smile and they always seem to find the negative in everything and everybody…never the positive.  Anytime there is a small setback , it is like the world is coming to an end.  They treat life like it is a WIN/LOSE game…and trust me , there is no such thing.  Whenever someone wins and someone loses , both lose.  Does this type of person sound familiar…do you know people like this?  I sure do.

Then there are those people you love being around because for what ever reason they just have this positive energy about them which makes you feel good.  They are always fired up , have a smile on their face and having a good time.  When there are small set backs , they seem to find the positive side or don’t even acknowledge it…they just keep moving forward as if it is an expected part of the process.  They are the ones who keep their emotions under control…they don’t yell , they don’t scream , they don’t attack , they don’t fight and they don’t blame.  Now don’t get me wrong , they are passionate and fired up.  They just don’t fight it…they seem to always find a way to use the flow to their advantage.  They aren’t pushing…they seem to be getting pulled through life.   They are WIN/WIN people…always looking for ways that they can WIN , but so can everyone else. 

The interesting thing about these two different types of people is that the positive ones almost always seem to win in all the equities of their life…Personally , Professionally , Business , Health…you name it.  They actually say people who smile and laugh a lot…the positive ones live longer and are much healthier and happier.  The negative ones always seem to look unhealthy and anxious…they seem to struggle in business and in their relationships…they look run down.

So , my question to you is which one are you?  Be honest. Is your energy good energy or bad energy?  Fired up energy or draining energy?  If you asked those around you to describe your energy , what would they say?  Fired up and infectious or exhausting and draining.  Are you positive or negative?  Do you fight life or do you use those people and things around you to propel you to success.

It is a choice…another one of those small choices I write about every Monday morning.  It is the cumulative affect of all those small choices that will get you are looking for in life. 

Make it a GREAT week!!!!

We are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with…our income, our attitude, our relationships, etc.

Good Morning MOJO,

Why is it the nightly news is always negative?  Why is it your morning paper, if you are one of the few who still get one, always negative…especially the headlines?  Even the Yahoo home page is almost all bad news.  It’s because that is what people want to see, read, and hear about.  So, why in the world do people want to read and hear about doom and gloom…why is it that people are intrigued by the bad news?  The papers, TV, the web don’t do it just because they feel like it…they do it because bad news sells.  So, why in the world do people want to read about all the bad stuff and not the good stuff?  One big reason is the bad stuff supports people not having to make a decision…it supports peoples “I don’t want to change” mindset…it gives people the excuses they are looking for to stick with the status quo…not take risks…not take chances…not go for it!!!!  No wonder people are stuck.  When there is risk and we focus on the bad news it supports us saying “I am going to wait until things get better”…”it is just to risky given the current environment…haven’t you been reading the headlines”…”didn’t you hear about what just happened to _______…I am not going to do it and let that happen to me…I am going to sit here and wait for it to get better”.

If we could only find a way to be optimistic…to focus on the good news, our lives would ignite.  Good news forces us to take action…to take advantage of the opportunities and it encourages us take some risks.  Think about your life and some of the things you want to accomplish…what is stopping you…the bad news?  If it is, it’s because the bad news supports your internal instinct to play it safe…right?  While focusing on the good news forces you to take a hard look at yourself and ask yourself “what the hell are you waiting for?”.  Good news makes you optimistic and pushes you to go for it.

Try this for a while…at least a week, but preferably a month or more.  Don’t read the headlines…don’t watch the negative crap on the news…don’t read the headlines of Yahoo….don’t pay attention to the bad news.  ONLY FOCUS ON THE GOOD NEWS.  Start reading a good book on keys to success, listen to a good CD on success….on personal and professional growth and development, watch a good movie.  Watch what will happen to your attitude and to your life.  You will be amazed how much more positive your mindset and attitude will become.  You will be amazed at how you will start taking advantage of those opportunities instead of hiding behind the bad news.  One other great thing to do is get the 5 people you spend the most time with to do the same, because we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with…our income, our attitude, our relationships, etc.

Make it a powerful week!!!!
