The computer folks will understand the logic here. When you use a computer mouse, and you right click in your computer option section, you get can enter “properties” which allows you to change things in your computer settings, all by yourself. You don’t have to explain anything to anyone, you don’t have to vote with a team, you basically have all the power in your hand to make changes and modify what you are dealing with.
In real life…not so easy. We have an internal “properties option” that is not available to other people. People have interesting internal sets of thoughts, goals and beliefs that are not easily modified, even by them.
So let’s join the team of positive thinking. Allow yourself the luxury of recognizing that you might not be able to change someone else by the click of a button, but you can be a positive light. Remind yourself that you can bring positive energy to the conversation, and if you are greeted with a negative response, delete their response from your “memory,” and keep moving forward. You do not need to be manipulated and changed by someone’s negative thinking and comments. You have all the power to stay positive.
