“How do you always seem to keep such a positive attitude towards others?”

“Well, I guess it’s because I always try to find things that I like about others.”

“Why do you do that?”

“So I can see their goodness.”

Ω

As a society, there is a tendency to consistently point out the “bad” in others and the world.   The “news” reports all the crimes and accidents.  Politicians, continually put down the “other side” or their opponent.  Companies, might criticize their competitors when selling their product.  The list goes on and on.

However, we are here to tell you that there is another way.  The way of “finding the good” within.  Find the good in everyone that you encounter.  Look for something that you admire, or can appreciate in another.   Look for the “good” in everyone!

The interesting thing is that what we focus our attention on, is where we send energy, and as you know, what we give energy to is returned to us.  As a result, others will begin to see the good in you!  Wouldn’t you rather have people focus on what they like about you rather than what they hate?  Absolutely.   Well, we are saying that you should start the process and give up the notion of criticism and begin to find optimism and admiration.

There is no contest.  The “winner” is not going to get awarded with a medal or recognition.  The only “winners” are those that are accepting of everyone!  There is no need to be “better” than others.  The real leaders of the historical world encouraged their “followers” to make themselves “better.”  That is the challenge, without trying to put yourself above anyone else.

Today is a great day to look for the good in every single person that you encounter.  We are talking about everyone.  Everyone you see on the street, in the car next to you in traffic, on the phone, and on the television.  Find something good in each of those people.   You may not know them, but find something to admire.   Maybe they have a nice smile, or are working hard at their job.   Do this today, and maybe you will see the lift that it provides yourself as well!

When we encourage and admire, we lift our energy level.   Be the leader that is buried deep inside, and begin an attitude of admiration today!
