Henry B. Eyring said, “We live in a world where finding fault in others seems to be the favorite blood sport. It has long been the basis of political campaign strategy. It is the theme of much television programming across the world. It sells newspapers. Whenever we meet anyone, our first, almost unconscious reaction may be to look for imperfections.” Do we really do that? I’m afraid we often do. A constant dose of negative can “program” us if we aren’t careful. A good antidote is to control our input—read good material, listen to positive, encouraging messages, and hang out with positive people.
A positive attitude isn’t the default. It has to be developed.
