I dont know about anyone else, but I find myself fueling the fire within, not only by others successes, but also by others failures. I am not a person that is easily impressed. I always feel that people, myself included, can push harder to achieve goals. I mean, why sit around and do what most people are already capable of doing. I want to go above and beyond what is expected! Now on the other hand, I feel even more inspired by negative people. People who are always complaining.... I cant do this. I cant do that, Blah, Blah, Blah!!!! OMG, if I had a nickle for every excuse I hear daily about this, that and the other thing, I might end up on Cribbs with my millions! Anyway, I notice more and more each day how I am feeding off of others weaknesses. I just stop and say, I never want to be like that. I will not allow myself to stop at anything for any reason. These negative attitudes push me to be more posative each and every day! I said earlier that I am not easily impressed, but I guess I am very easily motivated! Ok, so whats the point of this post? Dont really know, but just felt like sharing..  |

Funny you mentioned this Rubes.....
On January 1st, my wife and I said that our resolution for this year was to try to rid as much negativity out of our lives as possible. My wife was "bit*hin' about something I did (probably was all true), and I reminded her of our resolution and said, "Can't you find a way of saying the same thing, but in a positive manner? She did. She said she was positive I was wrong! lol!
One example was in the gym the other day. I believe in prepping my mind before I get into the gym..."animal attitude, hit the weights, take no prisoners" type of thing. This guy comes in and the first thing he does is start talking about how he doesn't like this gym, the people, the mamangement,etc.
As soon as he started, I tried to get him on the right path and patted him on the back and said, "That's what I like about you...ALWAYS so positive!" Well, he didn't get the hint and just kept up, so I cleared my thoughts of him and hit iron.
Can't stand negative people....it's contagious!

Good thread. We need more positivity in our lives. Dwell on what you have, not don't have. Focus on what you can do, not can't do.
And if you can't control a situation, why stress out over it?
Don't worry, be happy!
