I declare this weekend as politics free weekend. No political posts, let’s change the mood and tenor and atmosphere. Only pop culture and stuff that makes you smile. Let’s have a spooky Halloween weekend that can be a diversion to the every day we have faced recently. I am sure folks from across the world would be grateful. Make it positive, light-hearted and other stuff. What do you say?
Today is Monday and we are all getting back to work (except those who get today off because of Columbus Day or Canadian Thanksgiving). Holidays on Mondays mean three-day weekends for some which is awesome.
I am positive today will provide opportunities to do great things for those . Let’s try to think of Monday in a different way today or something like that. My friends let’s have the best day forward.
Friends, I have been told I am a positive person and that is what people like about me. Here’s a little secret, I am not always a positive person. Some days I have my moments when I am cynical and kind of mad at stuff. Being a genuine person means being genuine about how you feel about things.
There will be times when I will rant and will share some of the negative things brewing in my head. Much of the time I am going to look at the bright side of things but sharing the dark stuff gives some balance and hopefully makes me more relatable to the person who isn’t feeling it today. It’s what you have when you are an idealist like me. Emotions are a strong thing and it requires balance.
Now I have to figure out how to be mad when it comes time to be mad. I am horrible at being mad just like I am horrible at being sick. It’s funny how this all works.
Work to be intentionally positive, OK!
Be an inspiration to someone you know today. Reach out to them with words of affirmation and empowerment.
The best thing I can do is to inspire others to be positive and share the light. Do something different and be the change you want to see.
Also reach out to those who need a boost.
Always choose to be positive. Even when you aren’t feeling it. Everyone has a light they can shine. Pick positive, it’s good for the soul.
