Do you keep finding faults in others? Do you constantly keep looking at everyone’s bad side all the time? If you approach people with a negative mindset, the world will seem like a terrible place to you. You can live happily and harmoniously if you begin to see the good in everyone around you. Here are a few reasons why you should do so.
1. To bring more positiveness to your life
If you always want to remain positive and mentally healthy, train your mind to always spot good things about people and ignore the bad. Seeing good things will keep your mind and heart in a state of optimism where there is no back biting, malice, frustration and stress. You will be able to transmit positive energy to your friends and family only when you have the capacity to remain positive all the time.
2. To make more friends
What happens when you constantly keep spotting bad qualities in other people? You are likely to not make any friends in life. The way you think about someone will naturally reflect in your behavior and the person you don’t like will get a negative vibe. Instead of whining about other people’s bad qualities, focus on what is good about them and make friends.
3. To learn something new every day
If you make it a point to spot one good thing about every person you meet in the day, imagine how many new qualities you will learn by the end of the day. There is a selfish motive in seeing good things in everyone and that is to learn something new every day. For example, you might spot good dressing sense in a friend or you may notice that a colleague of yours has extraordinary oratory skills.
4. To make the world a better place to live in
Fights, misunderstandings, arguments and differences in opinion may reduce if people learn to see good things about each other; learn from each other and ignore the rest. If you start doing this and live a life filled with happiness and positive energy, you may inspire other people to do so too. You will set off a chain reaction of positive actions from one person to the other, making the world a better place to live in.
5. To make tough times more tolerable
Tough times can make everything seem dull, depressing and negative. Even a small amount of positive thought in such situations can bring relief and respite. Instead of spitefully transmitting your anger at other people, calm yourself down by taking inspiration from their good qualities. In fact, you might get inspiration by seeing something good in others in such a way that it becomes the solution to your problem.
6. To make others feel good
One of the reasons you should see good things in other people is to learn the art of complimenting others. When you tell someone about their good qualities, they will be humbled and will remember you for giving them a compliment. You can make others feel good by doing something so simple.
7. To be grateful for everything
When you train yourself to see other people’s good qualities, you are developing your own sense of appreciation and gratefulness. Knowing about other people’s good qualities will remind you that you have greater heights in life to aspire to.
