Is our default setting positive or negative? Do we assume people are trying to get over on us, or do we assume they have positive intentions? Do we assume we will have a great day or a rough one? Do we expect we will make progress today, or have difficulty?
How we expect things to be influences how they “really” are to us – a lot.
What are your “default settings” for looking at the world?
Wow! I was just thinking about this this AM. Notice…adjust…try again ! I’m getting it, but my default is very powerful!
Good will to my fellow man. Centered and established good thoughts without fear. Like a garden, cultivate good thought, weed out the bad, and be a master of my garden.
Hey, Larry! Thank you for the shout-out! My default settings are all positive. “All that we are is the result of what we have thought.”
Always try to see the best in people, until (unless) they show me otherwise.
Have a sparkling day! Summer is here.
The power of “positivity” can’t be overstated. It’s real work to make this outlook your default setting but the benefits are countless.
