There are times when things suck.

Nothing seems to go your way. You start to get down on yourself. You start to feel bad for yourself. We become known for being “that” guy or girl. The one that always has something horrible going on. The pessimist. Mr. Negative. We start to blame others. This company sucks. My territory sucks. This can’t happen. No one can do well. I hate working here. 

Please, don’t be this person. 

Focus on what you can control. 

Work hard. Stay late. Come early. Be a vocal leader. Stay positive. Be encouraging. Get excited. Always feel great–no matter how you feel. Smile. Laugh. Speak loud. Be consistent. Be grateful. Stay motivated. Focus on the end goal. 

Both of these people spread through companies, teams, friend groups, etc. 

Be the positive, hardworking, grateful person who focuses on their end goal and doesn’t let outside sources effect them. 

Certain people won’t like you. Won’t respect you. Will judge you. Who cares? Not everyone’s going to like you anyway. 

Stay positive and motivational. Be optimistic. 

No one likes a negative nancy.

“There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist.” -Mark Twain
