I had someone ask me what I wanted for the year 2021. I stated I wanted to be more positive than I ever have been. She was taken by my response, which made me smile. The pandemic changed my thought process as I watched people behave during the trying time of 2020. I saw people quit facebook because of the indifferences of political sides, I heard stories of the indifferences on how we should act during the pandemic, and I felt a piece of my heart feel sad over all these indifferences.

We will never agree on everything that everyone wants us to believe in. What I want you to take away from this blog post today is to understand the importance to listen to others without judgement, without name calling, and without allowing other’s thoughts to ruin our mood. People have a right to their thoughts and emotions. We cannot control anyone else’s moods or thoughts. What we can control is our reaction.

So….with this being said, I believe that working on being as positive as possible will allow me to flourish in 2021. I have sixteen countries reading my blog and if I can help others to understand the importance of positivity….My heart will be full. Our mood affects those around us. Our mood is contagious, our mood is like a disease which spreads to others like wildfire. Wouldn’t it be nice to spread positivity all around.

We don’t have to argue if others believe differently than we do. We can listen, understand their side, and leave with a smile thanking them for their thoughts and/or advise. By us doing this…we spread positive thoughts without hurting anyone’s feelings. We have the power to spread positivity to our world. Yes….this will be hard, but isn’t life hard at times, can you imagine how much better life would be if we were all more positive for 2021.

My life lesson today is….although we all go into a new year with different hopes and dreams for 2021, I hope you also go into the year catching yourself when you are being negative to change your mood to a positive one….all the while, learning more about yourself and learning what triggers your mood to change, and learning how to control those moods to become more positive and less negative.

Thank you everyone who reads my blog. I hope you enter your email so you can be notified when a new blog post is written. My goal is to help our world become a more positive world, while understanding ourselves. We are worth Joy.

Trust the Journey and Life Lessons,

Alexis
