One of the things that I’ve been known for in the past and tended towards heavily was negativity. It’s the way I was raised. Murphy’s law was quoted often around my house when I was growing up and as an adult I was told that over and over and over by family members and by me.
Over the past few years I’ve been making efforts to be more positive. It’s challenging because of my tendency to be negative about things but I think I’ve turned a corner. Still not great but I’m a lot more positive than I was.
One of the things I’ve started doing recently is instead of using dashes as divider lines between things I’m trying to use plus symbols. A line of plus symbols makes a good line and it looks more positive to me than a bunch of minuses and if you read the history of the plus symbol it’s actually in that shape because the person who kind of got it going and encouraged it as a standard for addition was a Christ follower and wanted to have the cross everywhere.
So here’s an example of what I’m talking about.

Makes a nice divider doesn’t it? I’m positive that this will help somebody 🙂
