Negative is Positive
Do you ever have a bad and cranky attitude? If you don’t you should.
I openly admit that there are days when I feel that my life and everything in the whole world stinks and I am anything but positive. This may seem a contradiction to previous postings but these days are important to me. You sometimes need to have days like these also. Bad days can be good for you.
I can hear you right now “Jon this makes no sense, why should we need to be negative”
There are times when you should get mad at yourself, cranky at how you are doing things, running your business, treating others badly or just plain dirty on yourself for being the way you are. Sometimes to make change you first have to get fired up angry and upset.
Don’t fall for that fluffy old myth that a positive attitude is all that anyone needs to get to where they want to go – that really is BS.
Whilst attitude is very important it is not the only thing. It will help you deal with what happens to you but it won’t stop anything from happening to you.
People often think if they get their attitude right they will have no problems and nothing will go wrong – again more BS.
Attitude on its own does not change things. Effort, thoughts and words combined change things. It takes more than being positive as you can be positively wrong, positively lazy or positively dumb.
Big Tip: Put down the rose coloured glasses. Negativity can be good. Use it to your advantage.
It is ok to get positively angry and positively truthful with where you are at. It just might drive you to take action to get yourself someplace else. Trust me it works.
Negativity is a driver for positive change.
