Words can be one of the most powerful tools used to sway societies in one direction or the other, both for good purposes and negative reasons. The more society saturates itself with positive influences the more society will be able to produce positive outcomes. Uplifting and inspiring influences are found in everything from books to positive clothes. There are many ways that each person can surround themselves with positive influences. Changing the way you think will change the way you speak and live your life from day to day.
Gratitude is Humbling
Before you read the number of accidents that have happened, the number of people that have lost their jobs this month, or even check your bank account before those checks start bouncing, remember how many things you DO have. Making a list of the blessings you enjoy will lift your spirits faster than almost anything else you could do. Before you know it, your list is so long that you’ve quickly forgotten all of the negative influences that were ready to bombard you. It is easy to fall into negativity and pessimism. You’ve probably heard it said that if you could see all of the problems that those around you are going through you would gratefully keep you own.
