I'd agree with Danny. It's all in what you choose to focus the spotlight on. Focusing on something negative, of projecting your own negativity onto something only creates more negativity. Focusing on something positive and projecting positivity creates more value for everyone.

Again, it's about where the spotlight is pointed

I can certainly vouch for your "socialness", Lizz – it's one of the things that stands out about you and what attracts people to you.

Like you say, if you don't like something, turn it off. Are you forced to watch a movie you find distasteful? Read a book you find boring? Listen to a song that grates?

YOU have the power to what holds your attention – complaining about something you don't have to participate in seems just a little bit pointless.

Hey Danny. I've become the biggest social media evangelist I know. It's all part of the attitude of gratitude I live by. I start and end each day thinking about those things for which I'm most grateful. When I was much younger I would beat myself up over what I didn't accomplish in a day. Now, I let it go. Same goes with social media. There are naysayers and antagonists in every crowd. They can only drag us down if we let them, and I won't let them. That's the beauty of this medium. You can unfollow or unfriend those you don't want in your life. Live and let live. We all get the the same 24 hours in a day. May as well take the good and share that; it feels so much better. And who knows, you may make someone else feel better too. Bless you my friend. You do excellent work. ~ Lizz

Hey Danny, I couldn't agree with you more. I am relatively new to Twitter and Facebook and what I've discovered is the good definitely outweighs the bad. I have a ten-year-old ans she knows what Twitter is. She also has her own web site: http://www.kidsareheroes.com. If you want to read some uplifting stories, please check it out!

Hi Danny, I totally agree! Keeping things positive only leads to more positive, you know? I find that staying upbeat and positive is the fastest way to build my business. I have started two brand new ventures and met so many great people that I never would have had the opportunity to do connect with if it weren't for having a positive attitude!

There's your examples right there, Teresa – like you say, you probably wouldn't be in the position you're in now without staying upbeat. There are enough people in the world that would be all too content to bring us down – keeping going is the tough, but ultimately rewarding option.

I think that's what puts a lot of people off about Twitter and Facebook – there are many negative stories about them (spamming, online "bullying", etc) but not always the positive aspects. It's great to see your little girl involved – they're the future, after all.

I'll be sure to check out her website, sounds like fun!
