This week’s positivity project strength is Other People Mindset!  To identify and appreciate the good in others, we must first slowdown and take the time to pay attention.  Look for the intentions behind people’s words and actions.  Sometimes, it’s easier to blame others for our problems or find flaws in others to use as excuses for our own jealousy, bitterness, or resentment.   The problem is that this negativity usually leads to problems-for ourselves, for the other person, and for our relationships. 

To those looking for a book that is fast-paced and will make them laugh out loud, Mrs. Greene recommends Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli. Maniac Magee is a fun story with a super likable main character, who runs away after his parents die and he is forced to live with an aunt and uncle who hate each other to the point of refusing to speak to each other. While on the run, Maniac meets lots of funny and surprisingly relatable characters, faces loads of adversity, and in the end, leaves the reader with a huge smile on their face!
