A positive attitude provides energy to those around you, positivity creates optimism.  A positive attitude is essential to promoting wellbeing, to being resilient, to improving productivity and to reducing cynicism. 

Our unwillingness to choose to have a positive attitude not only hurts us, it hurts those around us.  Think about the last time you were in the room with a negative person, how quick did the room turn, how fast did others adopt that negativity?  Negativity is contagious.

The good news is that positivity is also contagious. Demonstrate positivity and watch how quickly others adopt to being positive.  Positivity breeds trust, it breeds inspiration.

You have heard the question to assess whether you are an optimist or a pessimist.  Is the glass half empty or half full?

If the glass is viewed as half empty you may be a pessimist

If the glass is half full you may be an optimist

If you choose to see the glass as completely full, half full of water and half full of air, that’s positivity.

Good leaders have a positive attitude.

John Maxwell claims, Attitude determines altitude.  How high do you want to fly?

Choose positivity today and insure positivity is reflected in your countenance, actions and your leadership. Positivity improves our wellbeing and helps us to thrive in all aspects of our lives.
