It’s funny how we lean towards believing the negative over the positive. 

The various news channels know this and they thrive on it.

So what - we’re well aware of that.

It’s more important when we start to believe negatives about ourselves - especially when it’s a minority.

And worse, when that minority is just a one off.

But it sticks.

That ‘one’ could be; a result, an occasion, a person.

You could be feeling great in your new outfit, receiving lots of compliments... but it just takes one person to ‘helpfully’ announce that ‘it does nothing for you’ and where does your focus go?

Your results could be excellent, when suddenly a curve ball appears and you do a poor job. Where’s your success now?

You’re confidence is soaring, you’re great at meeting people and making connections - until that one person blanks you or doesn’t respond to an email.

So what are you going to believe?

        The one person or the many
        The one occasion or the many
        The one result or the many

If it’s true that you get what you focus on, you’ll know what to do.

I think you’re brilliant by the way.
