Take the challenge

A very good friend of mine organised a peace walk in Calgary recently and she was very pleased with the turn out for the event and the show of support. All the comments were positive and even one of the news stations did a story on the event. Every thing was more than she could hope for, but she was sad when she found out that some of the participants were walking to promote an anti war message and that was not the purpose of the walk. This left her with a negative feeling until her sister pointed out that everyone had there own reasons to do the peace walk, what matters is they walked, and believed in peace.

 We are all subject to being dragged down by negative feelings and in some cases becoming incapacitated by those feelings. The challenge is to figure out how to think about those events and circumstances in a positive way. Acknowledge how we are feeling, and work at adjusting our mindset.

Think about the opportunity for growth that negativity gives us when we are able to overcome it and turn it into something positive, and how that can empower us.

I challenge everyone to document all perceived negative circumstances and events in your lives this week Acknowledge how you are feeling and redirect your negative thought process into a positive one. This is reality for most of us. Please post your results throughout the week so that we may all benefit and cheer each other on. I believe this will provide us with a positive focus, help us to become more productive,  and build success in our lives.
