Proof Positive :-)

Here is proof positive that your attitude reflects in all aspects of your life.

I just read this article from a web site called “Living Better @ 50+ .  After reading it I thought to myself.......how true it is.  So, I thought I would share it with everyone.

Those who are consistently more negative than positive in their communications and interactions suffer from an untimely demise of their career potential

Why is Negativity So Destructive?
Negativity limits, constrains and tears down. Negativity also tends to escalate, and as it does, it strips away future opportunities for success, self-esteem, trust, confidence and growth.

What Does Positivity Do Instead?
Being positive has the opposite effect – it builds, repairs and protects. Using positive language and behaviors builds up support structures and creates new roads to solutions and success. It paves the way for a deeper level of human connection, compassion and creativity.

In fact, I’ve found that concentrating your focus on being more positive as you engage in your professional endeavors achieves the following 10 powerful outcomes.

Being more positive:

1) Helps you engage with others more effectively and gain support more easily for your ideas and initiatives

2) Develops you as a role model and someone to “watch,” admire and learn from

3) Gives you greater positive impact and influence on your culture, your environment and your colleagues (positive language and emotion are magnets)

4) Boosts your “immunity” to negative outside occurrences – you become more resilient and bounce back quicker

5) Inspires others around you to find the courage to seek – and move toward – the positive

6) Strengthens your ability to advocate effectively for yourself and others, which in turn attracts more opportunity for all involved

7) Paves the way for more collaborative success rather than crushing competition
Builds your reputation as someone worthy of trust and support

9) Helps you see possibility where others see only hopelessness

10) Brings to light your achievements and accomplishments rather than highlighting your failures
