Tired of Negative

As a salesperson I am very concerned about my attitude.  I am an emotionally based person (aren't most salespeople) and outside sources have an affect on me.  Why does all news have to lead with negative?  There is enough crap out there to make you depressed all the time.  There is A LOT of positive and happy news - why can't we lead with that information?  Come on people - let's stop this cycle.  For me - I'm shutting off as much as I can that is negative, so I might miss some big news and great Facebook post, but I doubt it...

Balancing Act

Maybe it's just me, but the busier I get, the more productive I get (and better mood I am in).  The problem I have is finding the balancing point where I am running at maximum levels but not to a burn out level.  Seems like I often lose sight of where I am at (and what is coming down the road) and  fall on one side or the other.  This situation then creates a boredom to burn out and back again.  Oh well, who ever said salespeople were easy to understand...
