I've heard something a couple of times in the last three days that has made me think a little bit about where we focus our time and energy. Let me explain. We were watching a live stream event on Monday night and as we were watching it, I was logged on to google looking to see what people were posting online. About 9 out of every 10 posts were negative. I thought that was curious and it got me to thinking why that might be:
1. anger or "venom" as I referred to it today is a very strong powerful emotions and we sometimes let it get the best of us, very easily and without thinking. I think if we took time to think about it, we wouldn't feel so strongly about it.
2. some people just want something to be negative about and are looking for someone to validate their opinion, wether it is right or wrong.
3. on the flipside when people like something they are so at peace that sometimes I don't believe they feel the need to express their happiness with it. They are happy with it and that is what matters most.
4. and maybe happiness and contentment are not as strong of emotions as anger
So I challenge anyone who reads this to make a point today to make known when you are happy with something or someone today. It really can make a huge difference in a very positive way.
