Good In Good Out!!

I was reading a discussion a friend of mine wrote and I was reminded of something I recognized one day on my long commute to work. As I was on the expressway with white knuckles and rock and roll playing loud. I thought what are you doing? As if the bumper to bumper traffic at breaknecking speeds was not enough to get my heart pumping. I was listening to heart pounding music as well. It was a revelation for me. I turned the station both literally and figuratively from that day on.

I still listen to rock and roll and motown of my youth. I am a baby boomer after all. I just listen to the stuff from the 60's and 70's with postive message's and I listen to love songs not break up songs. I read postive message novels now with happy endings. Not Stephen King. I take the national news in, in small doses. I do not watch negative TV shows. I surround myself with calm non-chaotic people. I have no room for nonsense. I keep the melody dramic people at bay.

It has made a tremendous difference in my life. That was several years ago. I must say I am such or more postive person today then that one driving to work with white knuckles ever was. The results have been wonderful. I have bad moments not bad days today. I could stay in a funk for weeks before. Now I rarely feel down and it is rarely for longer then a few hours. I just went through the worst year of my life. Yet I can not remember staying down for longer then that in the entire past year. I lost my, job, my mom, my home (I work very hard for), and moved across the country all in less then 7 months. Yet my dispostion is still as sunny as can be.

I attribute all of this to attitude. I completely believe in good in good out. I put nothing but postive in I give mostly postive out. I know this because something as simple as the grocery store can show you just who you are. It makes no difference how much rudeness I encounter. I manage to stay okay in the midst of it. I use to fake it alot but today it just comes naturally to me. I do not get that change in attitude just because somebody else is having a bad day. I do not carry their junk for them. Having worked for years in customer service industry as a cardiac intensive care nurse and then in mortgage sales I know the difference. I would have to fake a smile alot and today I just rarely do have to fake it I just have it.

Well you maybe wondering about now what does this have to do with the internet and marketing. A lot. Being postive, sharing a smile, sharing excitement are all contagious. Think about it. If somebody is sharing exciting news with you do you not suddenly just feel good. If you exude this to others when your talking to them about your business they cannot help but get that feeling as well. The thing about that is even if they do not join you. They may eventually because they will want that feeling back. When others see that you are happy and successful well isn't that what everyone wants? If you present things with a negative attitude even if you don't think you are people will be able to feel that. If you feel like doo doo on the inside well that is what others will pick up on.

So how do you change that when life seems to be giving you nothing but doo doo. Well you know the old saying. When life gives you lemons you make lemonade. I have made lemonade tons of it, this year. When I lost my job I reinvented this wheel. I began to look for a job I love doing not just one to pay the bills. I also took the time to go be with my mom and help her die peacefully in my sisters home leaving my husband alone for 5 months. Then after her furneral I went home to him sold most of what we owned and moved across the country. Then I started a new business and here I am. Several months later successful and happy. I made lemonade. Going to bed and pulling the covers over my head was a thought, going around with a grumpy oh poor me attitude passed through my mind. But instead I made some lemonade. You can too. What ever your circumstances are right at this moment you are capable of changing them. In fact your the only one who can. Good in, good out. Have a great day everyone.
