The Power of Positivity

Okay, confession time. I can be a real Negative Nelly. In my defense, life has slapped me around over and over. I think I have fallen into a pattern of expecting bad things to happen so it will hurt less when they do. It’s a hard pattern to break.
Nonetheless, I have been try to do just that recently. Along with my ‘act as if’ plan, I have been working hard to project positivity into the world. In whatever small ways I can, I am trying to lift others up.
This isn’t to say I haven’t done this in the past. Trying to be there for there others. Offering a sympathetic ear or a joke, depending on what was appropriate for the situation.
But more recently, I am trying to wick up those efforts. Going out of my way to support the endeavors of others in a more concrete fashion.
And yes, I’m hoping the universe rewards these efforts by letting something good happen to me. But even if it doesn’t, I plan to continue doing good for others. I guess it’s cliché, but doing good truly is its own reward.
Put simply, it feels good to do good.
