The Power of Positive

Find the positive, in any situation, no matter how small.

Negativity kills. It kills the mind. It kills the heart. And it kills the soul.

It took me three decades and countless miles to realize this. Once I did, I made a vow to myself to always try to find a smidgen of positive in a bad situation. I began helping other people see this when they came to me for help.

It was only recently that I took the step to show myself the same kindness as I did others. Growing up, I always compared myself to others. Everyone was pretty. I was not. All I ever wanted was for people to love me the way I loved them. But I always felt dejected. But now, I’m realizing most of it is in my own mind. The way I see myself is never the way others see me. So I am determined to change my perspective. Transform my thinking. And share my progress, as well as the positive, along the way. I want to pay it forward with random acts of kindness. Everyone needs to smile more! I started doing it here on my blog, but it just didn’t reach enough people I’m afraid. I wanted to do more. I love cheering people up. I love making them smile. And I definitely love helping them and sharing positives. It makes my heart sing.

I’ve found Operation Beautiful and have expanded my Positive Post-it Notes to the public world of REAL life! Much like the “where’s george” operation with one dollar bills, my first Operation Beautiful endeavor I wrote positive notes on money with a link to their website to get it out in the world. I’ve also started leaving my post-it notes in public bathrooms and fitting rooms (when I can remember to bring them with me!)

I hope you will join me in changing the way we see ourselves. Please feel free to click away and share!
