Pausitiveness

Being positive and optimistic is a good thing. Some might say it is even a God thing. There's another form of positiveness that's very valuable to have in your character.

'Pausitiveness', according to Tony Alessandra, means having the discipline and mental toughness to pause and put your personal feelings on hold even when you are tempted to lose it and blow your stack.

Why allow yourself to be pushed over the edge, saying and doing things that you later regret, instead of spreading hope and joy in your emotional wake?

The gap between a stimulus and response is actually our character in action.

Titus 3:1-2
Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good. They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone.
