Catching More Flies With Honey?

Good day Sunshines!

I remember an old saying of "you will catch more flies with honey than vinegar." I didn't understand what my grandparents or parents really meant by that statement until I became older. It common sense that being nice to someone will get you a heck of a lot more than being rude.

But, sadly, in today's society, that is not always the case. Reality TV shows us that being rude and confrontation,is what you have to do to achieve success. It makes you wonder if that old saying is even true anymore. In today's world, can you still catch more flies with honey than vinegar?

Could the reason why bulling is on the rise is because of these shows? Look at these shows. They promote bad behavior. Young people watch them and see bad behavior being rewarded.
We have to stop this destructive cycle. Humans are supposed to be the most intelligent species on the planet. Instead of tearing each other down, we should be lifting each other up. I know we don't live in a perfect world, but why can't we at least try to make it ideal. We have have the power to do this. You and and I. The next time that you see someone, instead of saying something mean, make someone's day by smiling at them or giving them a compliment.

Is this going to work on everyone? Heck no! In fact, there are some people out there, who this will probably never work on and that's okay. That's life.

Remember to stay positive Sunshines!

Positive Thinking Creates a Healthier You!

Hi Sunshines!
Did you know that thinking positive can help you live longer! The world is a very stressful place and people die every day due to stress related reasons. So, why don't we all try to think positive. I propose that before you start your day, that you take at least five minutes to yourself and amp yourself up. Tell yourself that today is going to be a GREAT day! You are going to make it through this day and you are going to succeed! You are going to be AWESOME today! And everything is going to be okay. Don't let anyone take away your peace of mind.
Before I start my day, I say a prayer. "Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." I don't know the author of this quote, but it has been given to me countless times through the years. If you can follow this and continue to think positive and be positive than you will have a less stressful and more healthy life. Tell me what do you do to stay positive?
