BSP 119: Positive People Make Things Happen! by Brian Hazelgren

Positivity is in scarce supply these days due to a number of
factors – from social media, to lack of sleep, a poor diet and
exercise regime and even electronics. All of these constantly
bombard us with ‘fake’ messaging and short-term stopgaps that keep
our own positivity from reaching its full potential. Brian
Hazelgren, author of Positive People Make Things Happen! wrote a
book that focuses on enhancing our individual positivity, not by
fixing everything, but by putting us in a position to elevate our
PQ – or Positivity Quotient. Hazelgren believes happiness is a
choice and he wrote the book after going through some personal
issues. He started by writing positive affirmations, which was the
genesis for the book. His goal is to give people a ‘training
system’ so that each individual can find their own level of
positivity within them, that they may not be aware they possess.
Hazelgren also discusses the negative impact social media can have
on positivity as many use those same platforms to mask the
challenges they’re facing. However, he also points out that
everyone can change their negative attitudes at any time by
applying some of the book’s ten tenets, among them: trying to see
the good in every situation and attempting to find even one
positive aspect within a bad situation. Learn more about your ad
