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!!!!
Wake up to the opportunities of life
Good Morning MOJO,
There was a study done recently which determined 68% of people miss out on opportunity simply because they are not awake to it. Did you read that clearly? They are not awake. Most people are in a coma of routines and habits. We almost have to be…it is a badge of honor in our society to see who can get the most done in a day. We over stimulate our lives with so many tasks and errands that it becomes necessary to be in a robotic state of “doing” to ensure everything on the to-do list will get accomplished. We are in a society obsessed with more…more…more. Unfortunately, when we do this, we are blind to the opportunities circling around us every minute of everyday. .
So, what are we to do? We can break through this negative behavior of living by making a conscious effort to become more childlike – not childish – but, childlike.
Find amazement with things again!!!!
Did you know that NASA cannot duplicate the flight pattern of a dragon fly? Did you know that a butterfly’s life span is two days – and that they are never babies? They go right from the cocoon to an adult butterfly? Did you know the more pollution in the air the more brilliant and bold the sunsets? Did you know that baby zebras recognize their mom’s by the positioning of their stripes – and the stripe patterns are never duplicated! Isn’t it amazing that alligators lay their eggs at different levels in the ground. And this action determines the gender of the newborn alligator? Isn’t it amazing that it is impossible to be mad and laugh at the same time? Isn’t it amazing that you can cause a grown man or woman with a tough exterior to melt like butter when you say, “I love you.” Isn’t it amazing that young children who just meet each other can play like they are lifelong friends within a few seconds?
These facts may seem insignificant. However, the habit of thinking on such things can do amazing things for you. It can cause you to wake up and notice the abundance of wisdom, love, and miracles that are found in every day life!
Just imagine what your life would look like if you called on your natural risk-taking ability. Imagine what your business would look like if you cultivated your childlike thinking. Imagine what your relationships would look like if you were willing to really love!
Let this be your wake up call to the amazement of life. It just might cause you to be aware of the abundant opportunity waiting for you in your business and in life!
Make it a great week!!!!
