Be Different

[Guest guest]

To make a difference, you often must be different. It takes courage

and confidence to go against the grain of negativity that surrounds

you, and such courage can bring great rewards.

 

Where others see only doom and gloom, be different and look for the

bright glimmer of opportunity. For it is most certainly there.

 

When everyone is looking for someone to blame for what has already

happened, be different and turn your focus toward the future.

Exploring the current possibilities will create infinitely more value

than arguing over past failures.

 

When you encounter rudeness and irritation, generously offer your own

polite and confident patience. When you bump up against the arrogance

of another person, be different and melt it away with your own

sincere, self-assured humility.

 

Just because everyone is heading in a negative direction doesn't mean

you must go that way too. On the contrary, it's a valuable opportunity

for you to set a positive example.

 

In times of great difficulty and stress, choose to be a beacon of

encouragement, understanding and positive purpose. Be different, and

you can truly make a valuable positive difference.
