“What we see depends mainly on what we look for.”
- John Lubbock
This is so true! When I find myself looking for the bad in a situation or person…that’s exactly what I find. The opposite is true as well…when I look for the good in a person or situation, guess what I see more of? Yup! Good!
Simple really and yet not easy. It’s much easier to focus on the negative…we have to retrain ourselves to look for the positive no matter what the outside world is showing us. How many times have you been having a great day, everything just comes together and you’re smiling away…maybe 5 good things happen and yet, you hit a bump in the road and someone is nasty to you…say, a sales clerk is rude, a driver cuts you off, etc.
Do you find yourself focusing on that instead of the 5 good things that happened? At the end of your day, do you talk about the good things or do you focus on the not so good thing and tell everyone you talk to about it?
It just seems easier to focus on the negative for some reason…but it’s soooo possible to retrain ourselves and soooo worth it to do so! Today I am going to look for the good in every person and situation and see what happens, how about you?
