Positive or Negative: Which are you?

So, it's Monday. Not everyone's favorite day of the week. I get it.

I've learned something important over the past several weeks: You get what you put out. If you put out good energy, good will and hard work you usually do ok. I think I am improving some of my own outlook and bettering myself by seeing things this way.

Those of you who know me, I mean who REALLY know me, might see this update as a change in how I usually see things. I've never been one to express "feelings" or the impact that "energy" or the one's general outlook on life/work/family/etc affect others.

That said, I am looking to rid myself of all of the negative energy, comments, and generally depressing things, places and people that surround me.

Facebook has created a great venue to voice your thoughts and project who or what you want to be. Take a look at your past postings. What do you see? Can you honestly say you're a negative or a positive person?

Here is what I ask: take a look. What did you find? Do you strive to be good or suffer along for the ride complaining, kicking and screaming all the while? Just being honest here, but I'm pretty sick of reading about people who use this medium to complain about everything. I genuinely enjoy when my friends, distant or not, say great things about their lives. I feel real happiness for them and that helps me in my journey. Of course, each of us has our struggles, but that's understandable. But man, there are some that just drag me down. Here's some advice: Do your best to make lemonade or just go suck on the lemon.

Positive people: happy to be here for you. Others: Just defriend me and share your poison with someone else. There is little I can or would like to do for you.

Thanks much,
C
