Bright Advice #25: See the good in others.


Everyone you meet has a good side, whether or not it is evident on the first encounter. There will be times when you meet someone and already you get a negative vibe. You might feel that it is hard to start up conversations or things might become frustrating.  Learn to see the good in people, even if you may not want to.

If you surround yourself with negative people, the only thing they will do is put you in a negative mood. Try to see the good in people - everyone has a good side. When you learn to see the good in others, it will be less stressful when talking to them or being around them. Now, if you are somewhere where you have no choice but to be around negative people, learning to see the good in them will make things a little more tolerable for you.

Be positive with the people around you, and also with life in general. When you see the positive aspects of negative people, apply the same thinking process with life. The more positive you are, the more motivated and awake you will be.

Upon learning how to see the good in others, be sure to be able to differentiate between that and sucking up. Just because you might not be around people you like doesn't mean you have to be down and negative. Develop the skill to see life in a positive perspective. Pretend you're stuck in traffic for the next hour, but it's okay. You just downloaded some new music to jam to on the way home. There are always brighter alternatives, just learn to notice them.

It is about focusing on the little things and finding the positive in them. The more positive you find in people and the things around you the happier you will be. You will also be more motivated to make it through everyday and reach your goals.
