Naked Man Moleskin

As you all know I travel often for work, and in one of my past COTs I mentioned people complain a lot and never want to be part of the solution.  Well on this travel I was listening to a pod cast and they mentioned how 99% of people that put stuff into suggestion boxes at stores and restaurants put in negative complaints.  So I started noticing how I keep seeing how people around me are negative more often than not.  I asked myself Is negativity human nature?  I decided it cant be.  Negative people infect other people with negativity, causing a crowd of negativity, this can also be said for positivity, if you are positive, others will feed into that.  So I decided to start making a conscious effort to be positive.  An example

I got to my hotel late, it was 10:48pm and restaurants were closed, the only thing open  was a Marcos Pizza until 11pm, unless I wanted to drive 10 miles to taco bell, which I would regret later if I did.  So I called the Marcos and a girl by the name of Brianna answered.  I asked if I could order a Pizza or was it too late, and I understood if it was too late.  She stated they normally stop taking orders at 10:40pm, but she would take mine.  So I ordered, then realized I wouldn’t get there until after they closed and she said no problem.  So I showed up and a 20 something male was at the counter.  I received and paid for my Pizza, then asked if they had a suggestion box.  He said, “Well I am the manager so if you have a complaint you can just tell me”  I said whoa back up, I want to compliment one of your employees Brianna.  At that time she came out of the Kitchen, and I told her how much I appreciated what she did, and paid her and the establishment a few compliments.  You could tell that her and the manager were not used to compliments and were taken back.

Morale here is Negaivity spreads like a wild fire, it infects people, but so does positivity. You can choose to get rid of Negativity and become part of the group that spreads the positivity bug, so I challenge all of you, make a conscious effort, choose to be positive not negative
