A Social Movement with a Message
Author: Libby Gillum
What is All Things Positive (ATP)?
- Is it a hashtag? Yes.
- Is it a New Year’s Eve party? Yes. Speaking of which…have you purchased tickets yet?
- Is it a social movement? Yes. In my opinion this is really what All Things Positive is about. Living everyday positively and becoming better people.
When I met the ATP team for the first time, one of my biggest takeaways was that we all have the choice to wake up every day and be a positive person. Easier said than done, right? I’m a pretty cynical person, it’s just my personality; so lately I’ve been thinking about All Things Positive, what it means to me, and how to live that mantra daily.
All Things Positive can mean whatever you want it to. To me it means a number of things.
First, it means taking on everyday with a positive outlook for yourself and for others. A simple smile can change a person’s day, week, or even life.
Second, it means always celebrating the good things in life. There are always going to be hard times, but when we have positivity in our lives, the dark times don’t seem as dark.
Finally, All Things Positive is about being there for someone who needs it. Whether it’s a stranger or your best friend we all need support from someone else.
Recently, one of our team members had a pretty serious medical scare and that really brought All Things Positive into perspective. Part of what do might be to create an amazing NYE event for the community and our beneficiaries, but really what we have become is a family.
So, as I wrap up my thoughts about ATP and what it means to me, I ask:
What does All Things Positive mean to you?
