Talking Points:

  • Our culture breeds negativity and we see it all the time on social media. It can be hard to not let that negativity influence us.
  • Positivity is a choice we can make despite what’s going on around us. We can see life as half glass full or half glass empty. 
  • Positivity is contagious so surround yourself with positive people and see what a difference that makes on your outlook on life. And, be a positive person, yourself, so you can rub off on others.
