I Became The Buzz Kill

Listen to "I Became The Buzz Kill" on Spreaker. Tony Robbins is by far one of this generation's most positive motivational leaders. I often wonder how many friends he lost along the way. It's a real question. During our everyday walk, being a positive leader isn't always the accepted atmosphere. I once had an Operation Manager go all out on me, "I don't need your positive today. I need to you to get down here with the rest of us and have compassion." I never understood that. It changed the way I spoke. I took it as being a firm reminder that positive people do have a sway with their ray of light. Basically meaning we look at the glass as being half full not empty. That drives a lot of people crazy. On this podcast I open our eyes to a different type of positive person. It's no hidden fact that I am an Elevator. I study the word of God at Elevation Church. The keyword is study. I don't go to church. I study. Over the past couple of years I've found myself with fewer and fewer friends. It's kind of weird going into projects that were once designed by a community of creators. These days the travels are thin. Inside my daily writing I can see why. While studying the word. I wrote the word. I spoke the word. I lived the word. I became a buzz kill to a lot of people. Does that mean I'll change? Not at all. The awareness of our presence in the moment teaches us how to stay true to yourself while realizing you aren't missing anything. Too many times the average person returns to their old habits because losing weight made you look good and those nearest you felt fat. How do you move beyond our need for acceptance? Wait for it! Here comes Captain Positive! Accept yourself first. That's the greatest decision you'll ever make. Now grow forward and outward. Be you or be what everybody else wants you to become. Sadly we never see their names on the headstone.
