This is an incredibly valuable gift.
People who have it, don't realise how much they give to others around them.
Fortunately I have several of the people I mix with who have this quality.
They provide me with the energy to, in turn, be positive to others around me.
We live in a society that is almost encouraged to be negative.
Advertising for instance is one - rather than just be informative, it seeks to make you inadequate ( and hence negative) unless you are using the wonderful "Brand X". The television reporters are doing it all the time. They build up expectations only for them to be dashed and then go on to probe in depth "What went wrong" and remark as Jonathan Edwards did yesterday "Tomorrow you can redeem yourself" . Victoria Pendleton managed to be positive and put a negative interviewer in their place and not to be despondent when she cycled in error and was disqualified. Well done Victoria. When reading the papers is rare to find an article that is upbeat. No wonder so many people are lethargic and negative towards others.
These few people that remain positive through thick and thin are extremely rare. Thank you for all the encouragement you give me.
