Monday Morning Motivation – “Get Infected”

I’ve found that when I am negative, or when I hang around people that are negative that it is highly contagious.  Minutes turn into hours of complaining and gossiping and when those conversations come to an end, we find ourselves in silence without much left to talk about.

The same is the case when I find myself in the midst of people that are positive and driven. The difference is that the positive commentary and activity is infinite.

As an entrepreneur, I’ve found that being driven is a mandatory pre-requisite.  When you run your own business, or when you are pursuing your passion and walking in your purpose, the work never ends.  There is always something more that can be done in a bigger and better way. There is always room for growth. Negativity is stagnant and leaves you in an abyss of bitterness.  When you are driven, time and energy are precious and much better spent on working to achieve goals instead of being zapped and drained by negativity.

Now take a moment to self reflect.  Are your test results negative or positive?  Are you the one going around spreading the disease of negativity or  sitting there talking to someone that is infected, falsely thinking that you are immune?  A sneeze guard or face mask can’t protect you.  This epidemic can enter through your ears, your mind and your heart.

In this rare case you want your test results to be positive.  A positive test result means that you are infected with the driven virus. Let me give you a F.L.U Shot (Faith & Leadership Unlimited) to build up your supply of drive and ward off the adverse affect of the negativity.

So right now, wherever you are I encourage you to find the most driven people that you know and surround yourself with them.   It’s contagious. Get Infected!
