This will be an interesting year... Ive been debating with some friends about just how much my positive mindset and optimistic outlook influence my results in life. They say Im just happy because of the good things that happen to me and that anyone would be positive if they had such a good life. I countered with my belief that I experience most of those good things because Im happy and that anyone could have just as good a life if they approached it equally positively. Anyway, Ive agreed to conduct a social experiment. For the first six months of 2015, I am going to focus as much as possible on negative news - both in terms of consuming and sharing. I am going to identify at least three things per day about which to complain, whether from my life or the world around me. I could use your help, too - please like my griping posts and then comment with supportive statements that validate my disempowering opinions. Also, as I know that much of my good energy has come from my interactions with other enthusiastic and interested people, please stop sending me good news stories and great jokes and other such things that could jeopardize the outcome of this endeavour. Instead, please tag me in and share with me whatever random outrages I may have missed. Please keep me focused on as much negativity as possible. I will do my best to take on a shitty attitude and, hopefully, it will eventually become my new nature. If my hypothesis is correct, I should be all but unrecognizable by my 47th birthday on June 11 - not that anyone cares about me anyway (see, Im starting with some self-pity to prime the pissiness pump). Personally I think this is a stupid idea and probably wont work, but what do I have to lose anyway??
