A Positive Lifestyle

In theory, most of us would agree that having a positive lifestyle would be something to strive for. Living with no other thought than to have compassion, respect, and forgiveness for others; having positive thoughts, words, and actions everyday. How difficult would it be to live this way? To stop criticizing others for what we don't understand, to open our hearts without judgment, and to think before hurting others with our words. We are not perfect, but we can control our actions and words. It's time to stop pretending that we are not responsible for how we treat others. If we all commit to living with a positive lifestyle, think how we could directly impact the world. Today, go through the day with only positive words. See how people react to you and if your day is any different from any other. Know that you can make a difference in someone else's life besides your own.

(Because everyone has a different perspective, I think their lifestyle would also be unique. What I do may not be what someone else does. But does it mean they are living with less intention to be positive? I think if people make a commitment, they will do the best they know how. It's times like this that makes me remember how unique everyone is and how we are only pieces that fit together, completing the universal puzzle.)
