Be Positively Thankful at Thanksgiving (and year-round!)

Are you tired of all the negativity in the world around you? A great leader knows that people who are different from himself will not naturally be attracted to him. People normally draw people to themselves who are like themselves. Maybe you’ve started thinking about the people you have attracted in the past (or present). You might say to yourself, “I can name twenty things that make these people different from me.” Of course you can. But if you think about it carefully, you'll begin to realize, that the people who are drawn to you have more similarities than differences, especially in a few key areas. One of those key areas is attitude. Rarely are positive and negative people attracted to one another. This is one instance where opposites do not attract. If you think the people around you are negative, then you had better check your own attitude. As Zig Ziglar used to commonly say, “Perhaps it’s time for a check-up from the neck up.” On the contrary, people who view life as a series of opportunities and exciting challenges don’t want to hear others talk about how bad things are all the time. To attract positive, up-beat, cheerful people, you must be a positive person. So for Thanksgiving, begin expressing your thankfulness for all the many blessings in your life. Show your gratitude. Focus on the positive. Express praise and affirmation to those around you. You'll be surprised how positive your world will become.
