Every day has a high point.

What was yours?

It’s no surprise this close cousin of gratitude should follow on the heels of the Thanks-giving holiday. It’s also no mystery that we get more of what we focus on. Who doesn’t want more high points?

Maybe it was a kind word, a sight, or simply a coincidental moment of bliss in an otherwise routine day. An unexpected call, a rainbow, or the person who stopped to help you pick up the stack of papers you dropped.

Even on a bad day, you should be able to pick the high point. Some good happened or some small piece of whatever bad that went down either has a silver lining or will lead to good in the future.

Don’t be cynical and pull one of those “it could have been worse” routines. “At least I didn’t break my leg.” That’s a cop-out. Your life needs that attitude like it need more backhanded compliments.

If you can pick a high point every day, soon you’ll find yourself choosing between several moments that stood out.

Soon you might notice you naturally focus on the positive, move toward the positive, expect the positive.

Look for the high points to produce more of them.
