| No matter how positive we may choose to be, we’re always going to encounter others who pessimistic.Thankfully there are ways and means through which we can certainly overcome their negativity or redirect it in a way that helps them become more positive as well. Here are few suggestions… You may not be the leader of your organization . You may not be driving the “big bus,” but you can decide to make your bus greater than what you have . Every day just focus on being the best you can be and bring out the best in others while tuning out everything else. Tune out the negativity. Tune out the damaging comments. Tune out anything you can’t control. You can’t drive anyone else’s bus. Just drive your bus and make it a great ride. It is said that 80 percent of the population vibrates to a negative frequency.The fact is negativity is all around us. It’s not just pessimistic people around you but It’s everywhere. You must remember that your positive energy must be greater than all the negativity. As it is always suggested “Never wrestle with a pig because you’ll both get dirty and the pig likes it.” Instead, stay above the fray. Positive energy is much more powerful than negative energy. If you stay positive, the negativity can’t touch you. When you plant yourself where you are, with a desire to serve and make a difference, you will create very positive conditions for your growth. You’ll be surprised at how others start treating you more positively when you approach your work with a service mindset. They will sense something different in you and they will change the way they behaved towards you. Give all the pessimistic people around you a book on positive leadership. There are many great books out there. Best of all, this change in leadership spreads throughout the organization. So don’t think you can’t change your situation or organization. You can. I’m convinced that very few people want to be negative. Most people are negative because of stress, busyness, and fear. Most people just need a wake-up call to break out of their rut. This is your opportunity to help someone else break free. Decide to be a beacon of light that shines on others. You’ll be amazed at what happens as a result. If all else fails you have a choice. You can decide to stay positive and outlast pessimistic knowing that truth shines through and eventually pessimistic people won’t last . Whatever you do, however, don’t allow a pessimistic to get you down. With 80 percent of the population being negative, we need positive powerful people like you to offset the negativity. So keep staying positive!  |
