The Power of a Pond

Well the power of positive attitude  is at work.  I am proud to share with you that I have as a result of "Positive Power".  I have a new position with a company that has been voted by employees to be the best place to work at.  Also, I will be making more than I am now.   I was listening to a speaker a while ago and they shared something that was captivating.  They were, 1: If you think it is impossible, it is not. 2: If you think you know everything, you don't and 3: If you think you are alone, you are not.    Those struck a chord to me and I just wanted to share it with you.

I use to tell a story about "The Pond" in my seminars and it is about how positive and negative energies have a unique impact on us.  It goes something like this...

The teacher lead s their students to  a local pond near the school.  The teacher then picks two students from the class. "Class let this pond be a reflections of a group of people".  Then they asked the two chosen to pick up a pebble. The students did what they were asked.  Then they placed their left hand on the girl left had shoulder and said, "You are positive energy."  Then with the other hand he placed it on the boy.  "You are negative energy."  

The teacher then instructed the two to walk to the edge of the pound.  "Now one who is negative, toss your pebble into the pond and witness what the water reveals."  As the boy did as he was told. When the pebble broke the waters calm surface, it created a series of ripples that formed rings.  Then the teach said, " Now you who are positive, toss your pebble and witness what your influence has on both environments."  She did and where the pebble that was negative had made its influence, her pebble overlapped the ripples made previous.  The teacher then asked, "What was it that we have just observed?" 

"Positive and Negative can you tell us what was witnessed?"  Negative said, " As I tossed my pebble into an environment that was neutral, my energy caused a negative influence that affected the area it was introduced."

The teacher turned to Positive and asked, " What did your pebble cause?"  Positive then said, " As i tossed my pebble into the same area that the negative pebble was tossed.  The positive energy began to overlap the negative ripples.  Though some of the negative rings remained.  Positive energy was stronger influence than the negative." 

The teacher then concludes in saying, "Both energies have the same affect but one has more of an attraction that the other.  A moth is drawn to the flicker of a flame from a candle.  We are more receptive to actions caused by positive energies, that from someone whose actions is a source of negative energy.  What is important to remember class is that you will have greater successes using your power and align it with positive energies.  To use negative energies to achieve your successes will only reflect who your are and what type of character you truly are.  We shall find in this life to be filled with challenges. 

It is how your approach other is important and how you come across with your words, actions and intent.  Use your energies to better not only your life, but also the life of others .  For the light reveal to other s determines what kind of light you will lead with.  You are torches of wisdom that others will ask to light their way through the darkness.  Those who choose this path are blessed with gifts no money can offer.  Let my light lighten your path you shall tread."  

I hope you enjoy this story.  I know I have always appreciated how this impacted on those who have listened. I hope that you connect with this. As I and those I have shared this with.
