What is positivity?
At the first BEC breakfast of the year we had Elizabeth Carter from Bravo Communications speak about positivity and it got me thinking, what is positivity? So I've put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard in my case) and put down a few thought I would like to share with you. It's considered normal to think that the way we feel is a result of whether good or bad things have happened to us. But in reality, the way we think about events is more important than the events themselves.
The things that happen in our lives are not necessarily good or bad in themselves; it's just the way we think about them that makes them either positive or negative. Thinking positively is not always easy. When things are not going our way, or something unsettling happens to us, it is much too easy to start feeling down about everything.

Harvard Business School Professor finds gifts make people happier than purchases for self. So as holiday gift shopping season approaches, retailers can make more people happy by giving them good gift selections
It is often said that money can't buy happiness, and this is true for most cases. However, writing in the September 13 issue of Forbes, Harvard Business School professor Michael I. Norton has found one important exception: those who spend money on others are happier than those who spend on themselves.
Norton conducted a study in which strangers were given amounts of money ranging from $5 to $20 and told to either spend it on themselves or on others. At the end of the day, those who spent their money on others reported feeling happier than those instructed to spend on themselves. This is in spite of consumer predictions that making more money would make them happier.
