Have you ever been in line somewhere and your standing next to someone talking about how they have this and that going wrong in there life?
Your natural reaction might be to either ignore the negative or join in on the conversation with your own complaints. I have caught myself doing the negative gibberish now and then-- it's normal. It's a good thing if you can catch it an be aware of it. A lot of people don't catch themselves or think about it and become obsessed with complaint after complaint. People who complain allot will suck the life out of you if you get too involved. Nobody wants to be around a complainer.
On the other hand-- being around people who don't complain and are always in good spirits and always have something good to say-- you want to be around this person because it's comfortable and not depressing, it lifts your spirits instead of draining your spirits. You want to do more for people like this because people like this are usually successful people, and it's good to be around successful people. Successful people usually 98% of the time have some kind of Good News going. Good news like "I need to have my Van Wrapped this week--how much of a deposit do you need?" Or "I like your price you gave me on those 100 banners, let's go with it! It makes you feel good!
If the evening news put as much energy into the "Good News" as they do with over-inflating and sensationalizing the "Bad News" things would most likely be better!
Good News is Contagious!!
