Positive or Negative

 

Positive or Negative


I was thinking about this today ...

How there are so many things that are positive and so many things that are negative.

A few examples ...
  • When you are considering making a job change, or making a purchase, many people say to "Weigh the Pros and Cons."  They say to make a list of all the Positive things, and then make a list of all the Negative factors.  Then compare the two lists.

    Positive or Negative.


  • Batteries have a positive and negative pole
  1. Car batteries
  2. Flashlight batteries
  3. Watch batteries
  4. Cell phone batteries

  • Atoms - some of the smallest elements in the universe have positive and negative ions and protons.
 
  • People with attitudes
 Have you noticed that everyone has an attitude?

Some have positive, uplifting attitudes.

Others have negative, nasty attitudes.

Now we shouldn't pigeon-hole people and categorize them as Always being positive, or Always being negative.

Most of us are a mixed bag.  I don't know of too many people that are 100% anything, including their attitude.

But, if someone is continually negative you might start to form an opinion of that person.

Do you remember in elementary school when you started learning about addition and subtraction?  What symbols did we use to represent each one?
+       for addition
-       for subtraction

How do we symbolize the poles on a battery?     +      and      -

My comment would be this:

The more POSITIVE  a person is, the more that person is adding to their life, your life, and the universe.

In the same way ...

The more NEGATIVE a person is you'll notice a negative impact all the way around.


Positive or Negative?


Did you know that our attitudes are part of our emotions.

Many times our disposition is a choice.

If you are sometime down and negative about anyone, including yourself, or your job or the economy, or anything ...

I want you to take a moment and say, "Today I choose to look on the bright side.  Today I choose to be happy.  Today I am going to be encouraged.  Today I'm going to be a blessing to someone else."

The Bible says in Psalm 118:24 Amplified Bible (AMP)
This is the day which the Lord has brought about; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

We will.

Say, I WILL!

 

Today you have a choice either to be Positive or Negative.  Choose correctly!

  1. I worked 8 hours a day with a constantly negative person and it drained the life out of my positive spirit. I think unlike batteries though that positive with positive makes more positive! Great post Chuck!
