Quote for the day:
“If you train your mind to search for the positive things about other people, you will be surprised at how many good things you can observe in them and comment upon.” --Alan Loy Mcginnis
Consider:
It takes faith and optimism to be able to look past others’ shortcomings—to see their potential and what they could become. The more you look for the good in people, the more good you will find. Like the saying, “Tell him he’s admirable and he will be admirable. Tell her she’s beautiful and she will be beautiful.” Having a positive attitude towards another, shows you have faith in them, and when you demonstrate this, that person is likely to try and live up to your expectations.
If you focus on a person’s bad habits or traits, it gradually takes on such importance in your mind, that it eventually eclipses anything good about that person. But it also works the other way: If you can focus on even one good quality, you will discover other good things.
In spite of faults, everyone has some good qualities. Look for the good traits in others, no matter how small or inconsequential it may seem, and praise them for it. Appreciating others for their good qualities will bring out the best in them.
If you start by looking for the good in just one person, you’ll more easily find the good in others as well. It’s contagious! Pretty soon others will view you as a happy, positive person who is nice to be around.
Wishing you all the best,
Coach Dana
