Finding the Positives

Today is our 2 year wedding anniversary, we have been together a little over 7 years now. There have been a lot of trials and tribulations thus far in our relationship. We have had a lot of negative times, however, we have overwhelmingly had positive times. We have done this intentionally.

We intentionally look for the positives throughout our day. This helps us be in a good mood and find things to be grateful for, instead of things to be sour about. It is a lot easier to be a negative Nancy than it is to be a positive Peter. Not only do we do this throughout our days, we also look for the positives in each other. By doing this, we have been able to play into each others strengths and help each other grow.

Instead of tearing each other down for our shortcomings, we try to make up the differences in each others shortcomings, while utilizing each others strengths. This helps us work as a team and progress efficiently. If one person prefers doing laundry and the other prefers doing dishes, we will predominately do those things for the other. Sam is really good at behind the scenes computer work for our business, while I tend to be better at meetings, conversations, front end work. By playing into each others strengths, we are able to progress the business faster and more efficiently.

If you look for the negatives, you will find them. You can find any excuse to not be with someone. On the other hand, you can look at their positives and find all right reasons, why you should. Life is a whole lot easier with a partner who is their to support you. I recommend finding one and finding the positives in them, not an excuse why it will not work.
