30-Day Positivity Challenge - Day 1

I was inspired by @intelliguy who was inspired by @markrmorrisjr to take this 30-Day Positivity Challenge. So here is my post for day 1.

@markrmorrisjr, in reflecting on the recent passing of his father, his life and who he was, found himself reevaluating what he’s doing with his own life and how he’s using his talents and gifts.

Mark said:
"I’m finally ready to start thinking of it in terms of what I want the outcome of my daily existence to be, not just for me, but for those around me as well."

Check out Mark’s post here => I’m Done Cursing Darkness, Time to Start Turning on Some Lights! My 30 Day Positivity Challenge, Can You Take it? (It’s really a nicely written and very thoughtful post about things we can all evaluate in our lives…we only get one life and it goes by quickly. Life is too short to be unhappy).

He’s challenging Steemians to join him. 😊 He said there's tremendous power in synergy and I completely agree. If you’re feeling drawn to participate, here’s Mark’s plan:

Join him in posting something positive every day here on Steemit, or as often as you can.
Avoid sharing negative things here and on other social media.
Encourage others to do the same.
Let Mark know you’re joining and how you’re doing.

So, if you’re interested in joining Mark’s challenge, leave a comment on his blog @markrmorrisjr and below (so I know you’re joining after reading my post…we can support each other and have some fun.)

Share your plans and we can all support each other.

In a final quote from Mark he said:
"The world has enough fear factories, people cranking out more negative, stressful, sometimes true, but rarely helpful reasons to be angry, afraid, and down. Let’s see how many people we can lift up. I’m not expecting you, by the way, to share my beliefs, spiritually speaking. Positivity of all stripes is welcome."

My 30-Day Plan is pretty simple…

I will only be posting on topics of a positive, upbeat, encouraging and inspirational nature.

Positivity and personal development changed my life 8 years ago. I was a completely different and not at all happy person.

Simply DECIDING To Change The Way You Think Can Change Your Whole Life

On the fourth of July of 2010, as I watched the fireworks from my bedroom window with tears streaming down my face, a big light bulb went on in my head. I was choosing the misery I was living in. Knowing that was the first step to fixing the problem by choosing to change my attitude and overall outlook on life.

I’ve been working on myself on a daily basis since then. It’s not always easy and I don’t do well at it some days, but the great part is as long as I’m living and breathing I can try to do better tomorrow. So can you. We all can. 😄

So I encourage you to join this challenge with @intelliguy, @markrmorrisjr, me and hopefully many others! We can all use more positivity in our lives, can't we?

Thanks for the inspiration and the idea for this challenge, @markrmorrisjr. And I’m sorry for the loss of your father.
