What We Can Learn From A Dead Battery

Did you ever have a bad day; a day where everything seems to be going wrong? A day, where you face one challenge after another? Sometimes, when we have days like this, our attitude becomes one where we are just waiting for the next bad thing to happen. And so the day continues in that negative frame of mind. When this happens, we actually attract negative events in our day because that is all we are looking for.

Recently, a friend of ours called and they seemed to be not only having a bad day, but a bad week. Listening to all the challenges this friend was talking about made me realize that they were in fact attracting more negative in their life. Don't get me wrong, the issues this person was facing were certainly challenging. And, I would agree that it was a bad week for her. But, as I listened to her talk, it seemed no matter what was happening in her life it was all negative. She couldn't seem to see any positive. From her work, to her personal life, she only saw the negative.

As I tried to point out some positives, to her she just couldn't see them. Later in the week, I was out shopping and I found the perfect card for her.

The front of the card had a picture of a battery on it. And it said,
"Stuff We Can Learn From A Dead Battery"

When I opened the card, it said;
"In life, there must be both the positive and the negative, or stuff won't work."

Needless to say, I bought the card and sent it to my friend.

The next time you are having a bad day, think about a dead battery. And remember, that you do have positive in your life. We sometimes have to look for it, but it is there!
