I remember often being asked why we brought such a negative message to the doors, when we were out in "service". One householder said we would get much better results if we had a positive message. I was confused by that since we were talking about how bad everything in the world was, and how we were so obviously living in the last days. I was a very negative person.
Now, I have a sign up, in my office, that says "Be the most Postive and Enthusiastic Person you know". I try hard to be positive, but that old gal sneaks back once in awhile. Someday, she will be gone for good.
When I was first getting involved in my marketing business, I was told in a seminar, to eliminate all the negative people from my life. I wondered who would be left, if I were to do that. It's funny now, but was a serious concern then.
Great post, Ranchette.
