So from my last post i challenged myself and the few readers i have to spend a day being totally positive. How'd it go everyone? Well i'll tell you a few things that happened to me. I spent a few days trying to positive but not every single one stayed that way all day. The first day i got to the office and everything was shut down. We were having major computer and phone issues, and missed several patients phone calls because of it, needless to say most parents were slightly angry. But, keeping with the theme i tried to be even more pleasing then usual over the phone and you know what? IT WORKED! A few parents called annoyed and ended the call being ok about the whole fiasco. I mean i'm normally very pleasant over the phone trying to calm down a parent but it doesn't happen often and that day it did. Luckily i was able to keep myself a little more happy then i would've been and hopefully kept some patients happy as well.

Next day i tried i had to work at Neilsens. Usually i get very tired and irritable toward the end of the night from working, but i remained positive and it didn't seem so bad. We got done pretty quickly and i went home feeling tired but not totally worn out, like usual. I even had a customer tell me i was one of the happiest and most accomidating fast food workers he's ever seen. Now that may not be true, but it was nice to hear.

I'm sure many other things happened that i didn't even notice but over all i'd say the challenge had been met! If any of the people i came in contact during those times felt any better, i really don't know, but i know that i felt good and that usually makes people around you feel pretty wonderful too. So tell me all about your experiences and don't let the challenge stop here. Keep being positive, look for ways to make someones day, wear a smile, and always serve others.

Keep it Positive

The art of being positive is not an easy thing to learn. It requires patience, perseverances, and a general want to be happy. I try to live life in a positive manner, granted I don't always succed as my family, and friends can tell you, but I'm in general a very happy person. What I love about always trying to be happy, is that you can usually see how it affects the other people around you. I love the times when I see someone at work or even just in passing and all you do is give them a smile and you can see their faces brighten up a bit. Sometimes that's all it takes to turn someones day totally around. Sometimes it takes just a shoulder to cry on. Others it takes some good advice. But on an occassion it all takes an open heart, and that age old positive attitude. Sometimes helping another is all it takes to make me feel better too. I think happiness should be a wide spread phenomenon. So let's start it everyone! Try just for one day to pay very close attention to everyone around you. Be happy, and smile, and look for as many opportunities as poosible to brighten someones day no matter what avenue you take to do. It really does improve your day and hey if everyone just tried it once that would be a lot of days where many people could just feel better.
