The world's rarest stuff is not money - and nor is it love. It is the positivity quotient - whether a person has the ability to impart positivity in any environment or situation.
There is a simple test for positivity. In any encounter with any individual, figure out whether you are walking away from the engagement with a positive, negative or neutral feeling. If you walk away from the meeting with that individual usually with a positive feeling, then that person has a high positive quotient.
People with a high positive quotient tend to see - and communicate - the positive aspect in any person or situation. They are also persons with high self-awareness - who believe that reinforcing positive behavior (rather than criticizing negative behavior) is the key to bringing about change. They tend to be keenly aware that most people crave for positivity from any engagement and that positivity is the rarest stuff currently.
Watch out for - and stay away from (if you have a choice) - people with a negative quotient. How often have we encountered a person who normally leaves one feeling drained of energy and enthusiasm and feeling totally inadequate? If we encounter such people often, then there is the real danger that we too will get sucked into the downward spiral of negative energy and thoughts.
So go ahead with a ready smile, a spring in your step, and a good word for everyone. In these difficult times be that rare beacon of positive energy.
