This is a wonderful post from blogger Kate at FlippyZipFlop about being positive. I loved the line “Be happy that life is a gift you are not taking for granted.” So true!
As I sit here, anxiously awaiting todays Daily Prompt, I’m left to think. I scroll through and read all the posts going up, and after reading and responding to everyone, this is what I have to say. It has taken me YEARS, but I have made it. And one key factor in my survival was positive daily affirmations. You see, I know I’m a good person, but for so many years, I was called a vast amount of other things from crazy, to a liar, a cheat, etc. Well, if you’re at all familiar with the labeling theory, you know that if you hear these things on a regular basis, you start to believe them.

I loved her positive outlook that she carries for her life. Its really inspiring to me!! Thanks for sharing it out! my friend 🙂
Oh I’m so glad you enjoyed the read too, Swetank 😀 And thanks to you too!
I believe in positive thinking but we have to acknowledge those negative thoughts whether they are from internal or external sources. We need to tape over those negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. 🙂
Hi Susan,
That’s an excellent response. That wording of ‘tape over’ is so true. Thank you 🙂
Lovely to spread positivity around, it’s contagious. I believe that what we focus on we bring, so why not keep it positive? 🙂
So true!! Thumbs up to positive energy 😀
What a wonderful vibe to spread around. Thanks for sharing Christy! 🙂
