Winning Friends - Being Positive is a Step in the Right Direction

Having faith that you are loved by an all powerful God can really do wonders for your outlook. That by stepping out in faith and being humble, you can get in shape, have friends and not worry anymore. You don't need fancy cars, or big mansions, but if they come you can be grateful for them. And be humble that God blessed you with them.

We need to have faith and be positive. We need to let worry dry up and blow away like a leaf in the wind in Autumn. Worry can cause cancer, how many of us want that to worry about. We may not make a lot of money, we may not be famous, but that doesn't mean we don't matter. That doesn't mean we can't have people like us. In "How to Win Friends and Influence People" it wasn't about impressing people with watches and diamond sparklers all over. It said we just have to like people, be interested in them.

Certainly being rich can help if you want to be a politician these days, but I don't want to be a politician. I don't want the responsibility of the world in my hands. People are too fickle and the job is too hard to find satisfying. But I do love people.

I have had many friends, and the one thing I know is that, people want to matter. If you make them feel like they matter to you. They will like you. People call me J-lo sometimes and its not because I'm so great looking.

No, when you talk to someone, really get to know them, their hopes, their dreams, and when you talk to them again, use their name, ask how their family is, care. Caring is the most important aspect of being likable.

You can be the most beautiful person, but if you don't care about people, you will have poor relations. You also have to be humble. If you think you don't have problems wait till you start judging others. You'll have trouble alright. You'll be judged by the same standards as you judge others.

You also have to care about yourself. You have to really care about how you feel and work on improving if something doesn't jive with your soul. Some people are happy fat. I wasn't. But thanks to a new commitment to health, you'll find me in the gym most evenings. I may never be super skinny again, but that's not the goal. I want to be happy, healthy and wise.

Being positive, upbeat and learning to care about others is a surefire way to make friends, And being in shape can help you with that goal.
