Are you a manipulator?

by Jane

“Assertiveness is one thing – manipulation another.†Many women believe that to be assertive you must be manipulative. If this holds true, then assertiveness actually becomes aggression. Recognize that being assertive isn’t about being controlling. It simply means expressing your wishes in an appropriate, effective way, while maintaining the respect for others. Keep in mind that assertiveness requires communication, negotiation and compromise. When you treat others with respectful assertiveness, you gain their respect in return. Try it!

Surround yourself with these positive , nourishing , uplifting people whenever you can

Begin each morning by resolving to find something in the day to enjoy.Look into each experience which comes to you for some grain of happiness.

You can have a positive attitude about the events in your life , or you can come from a place of complaint and misery.You decide.You can consciously choose to respond in a positive way to almost any event or circumstance-a positive attitude is simple a choice you make.

Now we all know people with negative attitudes .They are the ones who constantly complain , whine , and moan. Nothing seems to go right for them. They are the perpetual victims in life. This is because they are operating at a lower frequency , and through the Law of Attraction they are attracting even more to complain about. The reason they tend to stay ''stuck'' in their negative lifestyles is because they are constantly focusing their thoughts and energy on their negative present and negative past. By doing so , they are creating the same future over and over.

On the other hand , we also know people with positive attitudes-the ones who always seem to be happy , the ones who really seem to have a handle on things in their life. They are more fun , their energy feels great to be around , and they are operating at a higher frequency.

Surround yourself with these positive , nourishing , uplifting people whenever you can. Spend your time with spiritually evolved people who encourage your growth and applaud your successes. Wrap yourself in a support network of inspirational people with positive attitudes and energy.

Jack Canfield

Always your choice When life hands you a negative experience, respond with a positive action. Instead of letting the difficult circumstances pull you down, choose to let them inspire you.

Sure, it’s easy to become dismayed. Yet the truly empowering fact is that it’s just as easy to become determined.

Your attitude is always your choice. So you might as well choose the attitude that will serve you the very best.

When you find yourself feeling angry, cynical, disillusioned, resentful, worried or apathetic, stop. Choose to use those negative feelings as a positive trigger.

Aim your focus in the direction of your best possibilities. Take quick, decisive action in support of those possibilities. You are in control of your attitude, your thoughts and your actions. So choose to be positive, forward-looking, creative and effective no matter what may come your way. Ralph Marston
