Differences Between Positive People And Negative People

As
you
know,
it
is
a
drastically
different
experience
being
around
positive
people versus negative ones. If you are striving to be more positive yourself, here
are 15 ways you can do so:

1. “Failure is part of learning.”

Positive
people
view
failure
as
an
opportunity
to
learn
and
get
better.
They
understand
that
failure is
an
event,
and
doesn’t
define
who
they are.
Negative
people are emotionally disabled by failure because they allow it to define who they
are. They fail to understand that it’s part of the learning and
growing process.

2. “I can do hard things.”

Positive people love to be challenged. They understand that there is no growth
without struggle. Positive people embrace difficulty, and look for ways to overcome
them.
Negative
people
love
the
easy
road.
Because
obstacles
increase
the
likelihood
of
failure,
they
try
to
avoid
them
like
the
plague.
To
negative
people,
hard times don’t make you, they break you.



3. “I always give my best.”

Positive
people
focus
on
giving
their
best
effort,
regardless
of
the
situation.
They understand that there are many things they cannot control, but effort is not
one of them. No matter what, the positive person strives to give their best
—
even
if it isn’t much. Negative people want things to come easy to them. If they have to
try
hard, they believe they just aren’t good at it and give up. They are more likely
to give their absolute best if they know people are watching them.

4. “She is inspiring!”

Positive people are inspired by the success of others, they look at those who
are e
xcelling and ask themselves the question, “What can I learn from them?”
Negative
people
become
jealous
and
threatened
by
the
success
of
others.
To
negative people, when others succeed it means they are failing.

5. “What can I do better?”

Positive
people
embrace
feedback.
Because
they
are
always
striving
to
get
better, they are open to learn anything that will enhance their skill set. Negative
people get offended when they receive correction or feedback. Instead of seeing it
as means to improve, they interpret feedback as a sign of their incompetence.

6. “I give power to what I focus on.”


Positive people focus on things they can control. They understand that their
happiness is dependent on how they choose to respond to what happens to them.
Positive people believe that they give power to what they focus on, so they use it
wisely.
Negative
people
center
their
focus
on
things
they
can’t
control.
For
example,
they
ruminate
over
past
conversations,
beat
themselves
up
on
past
mistakes, and allow their fear of the future to stop them in their tracks today.

7. “People can change.”

Positive people know that the only thing that doesn’t change is change. They
believe that they can change, and that other people can change. Negative people
believe that people are fixed;
therefore, they don’t try to improve because they
believe, “What’s the use?” Additionally, negative people don’t allow others to
change. Once a negative person puts a label on something, it’s very difficult for
them to see it in a different way.

8. “I still have a lot to learn.”

Positive people love to learn. They understand information evolves, and what
used to work 10-years ago, might not be effective today. Negative people believe
they
know
it
all,
and
are
less
likely
to
welcome
new
information
if
it
contradicts
what
they
believe.
They
care
less
about
what’s
right,
and
more
about
who’s
right.


9. “Let’s go big!”

A positive person isn’t afraid to swing for the fences because they don’t fear
striking out. A negative person not only thinks small, but they also try to convince
others that their dreams and aspirations are too big.

10. “Have you heard about [insert name]?”

Positive
people
build
others
up
when
they
aren’t
around.
Negative
people
tear people down to make themselves feel good.

11. “I am my own worst enemy or best friend.”

Positive
people
have
effective
self
talk.
They are
aware
of
the
story they tell
themselves, and don’t allow their own thoughts to discourage them. Additionally,
they are realistic with their expectations. Positive people don’t
feed themselves
lies
about
their
weaknesses
or
how
difficult
the
situation
is.
Instead,
they
tell
themselves what they need to do to succeed. Negative people are their own worst
enemy. They struggle to see the bright side of anything, even if they are successful.
They
are
also
masterful
at
focusing
on
all
the
negative
aspects,
and
diminishing
their own confidence.

12. “What is my body saying?”

Positive
people
carry
themselves
like
champions.
They
are
purposeful
in
the
way they interact with people and their facial expressions show positivity. Negative

people
carry
themselves
small.
They
hang
their
heads,
and
look
down.
Just
by
looking at them, you would think they are mad, sad, or indifferent
—
definitely not
happy.

13. “Teamwork makes the dream work.”

Because
they
are
team
players,
positive
people
will
get
behind
and
support
ideas that are not their’s —
even if they might disagree with it. Negative people
have a hard time fully supporting ideas they feel won’t be successful. When an
idea that wasn’t their’s doesn’t succeed, they are sure to give their teammates
the “I
-told-you-
so” expression.


14. “What’s the bright side?”

Positive
people
have
an
attitude
of
gratitude.
They
can
see
the
good
in
a
situation, and don’t take things for granted. Negative people
struggle to see the
silver-
lining
in
difficult
situations.
They
don’t
often
take
the
time
to
stop
and
notice the positive aspects of a situation.

15. “You’re so good!”

Positive
people
like
to
spread
positivity.
They
pay
close
attention
to
when
others do w
ell, and they are quick to tell them. Negative people say, “Why would I
compliment
people
for
things
they
are
supposed
to
do?”
What
they
don’t
understand
is,
it’s
not
about
the
compliment,
it’s
about
showing
the
other

person
that
you
notice
them.
A
simple
compliment
can
strengthen
relationships
and motivate the person to do even better. Positive people don’t underestimate
the power of encouraging words.
