Happiness Skill #7

I know I have skipped a couple. All of the skills are great things to share, but I have decided to just share the ones I think I need the most in my life. I really like this one because it fits with my moto from last year....bad juju out good juju in. Bring more positivity in your life. Shed the negativity coat.

It is far too easy to view and focus on the weakness of others. It is my belief the reason this is so easy to do is we instinctively (or conditionally) see and know our personal weakness and we don’t want to be the ‘only person we know with so many weaknesses’. The truth is, we all do have weaknesses but we also, every one of us, have some very powerful strengths we can share…once we begin to see them.

The easiest way to begin to ‘see’ our own strengths is to look for the strengths in others…the things we ‘like about them’.

Today’s activity:

For the next 7 days find 3 people per day, 2 you really enjoy being around and 1 that may be more of a challenge to be around, and find at least one thing about each of these people you ‘like’. Then simply share the thing you like about them with them. You can make a simple comment like ‘Do you know what I really like about you?’ Then tell them.

Be sincere…as sincere as possible. A statement I like is, "kill them with kindness".

Sounds refreshing, doesn't it? All of us have our woes, struggles, hardships, and trials. You never know what weight people are holding on their shoulders. We all have more in common than we think.

Love,

Remarkable, good juju ME
