It was over the weekend that I was talking to a friend about the need to stay positive and how that would impact everything around us.
Take this for an example, I wake up in the morning feeling like it's going to be one amazing day. Walk into the office, everyone greets me with the usual good morning smiles. Then, I head in to my manager's office. His son, less than a year old, has just got his first green car-walker. The little one's happy and my manager's happy. We go through the discussion and everyone leaves a happy person, and the day seems brighter.
Lets take the opposite scenario. I wake up in the morning feeling like it's going to be one amazing day. Walk into the office, everyone greets me with the usual good morning smiles. Then, my manager calls me. He's had a lot on his plate and he doesn't seem to be a very happy man. Barely a toe out of line and he yells, shattering my optimism, and I'm brought down to feeling as miserable as he is. Yes, misery does love company.
Either scenario, I have the option to choose if i want to spread the positiveness that I experienced in the first scenario or the grumpiness in scenario 2. Another option I have in scenario 2 is to change that negative energy into positive energy and spread that instead.
What we may or may not noticed is that we spread the way we feel to others around us. If we are happy, they'll be able to sense it. Likewise, if we are unhappy, they will also be able to sense it. We are all connected in this world via an invisibile bond, a vibration as one may call it.
It is through this vibration that we get to feel what the others are feeling and we are affected by everyone who comes within our circle of vibration. I guess, as in all my other blogs, the key thing is to always aim to stay positive in life and never to let negativity take control. Remember, this feeling does not only affect you, but also everyone that comes in contact with you.
Try this for an example, when you wake up in the morning, tell yourself 'Today is going to be a great day'. Don't just tell yourself, live by it. Actions do speak louder than words.
On your way to work, instead of focusing only on the road ahead, try looking out your window and pause to admirer the blossoming of the flowers as the cold August wind makes room for spring. Let the smell of fresh grass linger in your senses a little longer than they usually do. Notice the cockatoos standing out amongst the flock of magpies. Acknowledge your surroundings in the way that makes you feel good about your life.
When you start feeling better about yourself, your vibration circle grows. This means it is easier for you to get connected with others. People will start noticing you. I've noticed that on days which I feel extremely positive about myself, the randoms that I meet on my way to work, they tend to take a second look at me, smile and some even go to the extend of asking, how i'm going. All within that 3 seconds that our paths crosses. And it's any random, even the limping man, in that shrugged clothing has time to greet me. At first yes, I was rather freaked out- you know, typical Asian mentality - never speak to the people you don't know. But then I realise, he was just being nice, and I started replying him too.
Bottom line is, we are all connected in this invisible bond. Share the positive energy that flows within you with others and help make their day. If they're down, don't let that bring you down either. The decision if then up to you if you want to succumb to their pressure or you could be the better person and let that go right above your head. The choice is yours.
