Positive People=Positive Results

Ok, let me break this down for the YE's

I am sure all you know how the Law Of Attraction works, if not Google it.

But I am here to talk about a concept that Kind of relates to The Law.

I wake up every morning, and depending on the day, I am happy or sad. (most of the time I am happy) When I wake up sad, I take a shower sad, I get ready sad, and I go to school sad.

When I go to school by this point I am still kind of iffy.
-Lets say that someone comes up to me(and I get annoyed when I am mad) and asks me the dumbest question alive, and I give the most sarcastic, meanest answer I can( because I am sad) and this person leaves sad.

Now not only have I made my day worse, but I have also infringed on someone else's day and made them sad.

Lets say that after the question he/she was asking they were going to follow with another question that could spark and idea, or signal a light in my head saying I want him as a contact, and maybe someone I could do business with.

What if after I got up in the morning, I told myself to be HAPPY! and enjoyed my day; what could've happened?
This question also arises when I awake, and this Is why for the most part I am a happy person.


This example can work in many different scenarios, but the concept is simple.

I'll get back to you when I understand the theory of your topic, ha ha.

No but really, you can't always FORCE yourself into being happy, your emotions isn't like video games, there is no "mushroom" here and gain a boost of confidence (in reference to Super Mario.) Just take it as it comes, keep to yourself and ask yourself "whay am i sad?" Work the problem out amongst yourself.

I also suggest to keep this from happening is to find a half hour each day to clear your mind where you can relax and be calm, this works for me a majority of the time. (Other then sleeping itself )

what is hard to understand?

^^ It was a joke, I understood it (thats why I laughed at the end.)

No matter how sad/mad you are, you don't have to act sad/mad. If you keep somewhat positive, keep a smile on your face, and put other people's happiness in front of how you feel at the moment, you will likely end up not sad/mad. This usually happens becuase you have made others happy, and have not focused on being mad/sad, letting you be happy, if that makes any sense.

I guess what I am saying, is don't wait for the positive person to come to you....make the negative person positive.

Thanks for the great post!

bballoakie- In a sense, that is what I was saying.

In the example.
I was saying that by making others positive, it could very well benefit you.

Only the individual can change how they feel. This is true of all emotions, including fear and stress. These things cause problems in everyone's lives and the key is to try to change them over time.

For instance, you study very hard for a test, you know everything, then you walk into the test and go completely blank. You can't remember anything even though you knew it all the night before. This is caused by the release of cortizol in the lymbic system of your brain. Your brain has the information, but your stress level is causing it to look in the wrong place for the information and you are coming up empty.

Consider another example, a man who buys his girlfriend flowers. There are for scenarios that could happen:
1. The guy buys flowers because he did something bad; the girl is happy she got flowers (doesn't know the guy did somethign bad)
2. The guy buys flowers because he did something bad; the girl suspects something is wrong and that is why she got flowers, so she is angry
3. The guy buys flowers just to be nice; the girl is happy
4. The guy buys flowers just to be nice; the girl suspects her boyfriend did something wrong and is mad.

Think about this... you can't change the outcome of someone else's feelings. Whether you bought flowers for a good or bad reason doesn't matter; it is your girlfriends feelings towards why you bought the flowers that are going to affect her emotions.

The way to reduce your stress, sadness, angriness, is to train your brain response (amygdala) to not feel stressed when you are taking a test or not feel sad in certain situations. Unfortunately, these changes can't take place overnight.

^^ Great post Josh ... btw, this is where you should always have a person who inspires you and absolutely keeps you happy, like for me as I said in the "Role Model" post... my fiance is my inspiration and even though I don't wake up next to her (cause we don't live together right now) I still wake up to her pictures on my wall. So everyday is a good day somewhat.

I know that is what you were saying, I was just trying to clarify/add on to your post.

these are all very touching stories

[DrMoney]

Well, Sanders, I do agree with your response, and hope my post was of value.

There actually was a study done when I worked at kirby that positive people sell more kirby. It's hard to make a negative person positive but its easy for one negative person to make a whole group of positive people negative.

People find it funny that when I wake up I read an entrepreneur success story, and I always play the same song over and over. all day actually. It's a song that inspires me and keeps me motivated all day.
