UP YOUR PIZZAZZ
Written by Mike Moore
I am drawn to people with pizzazz, that spark of enthusiasm and excitement about life that makes being in their presence a joy. They smile easily and often and laugh with great energy and pleasure. It feels good to be alive and in their company.
People with pizzazz don't have to be loud and boisterous. They can be quietly positive and enthusiastic, appreciating the moment with whomever they happen to share it. People with pizzazz listen attentively, care deeply and respond to life generously. They are gifts!
The late Leo Buscaglia, a man of great pizzazz, tells of meeting a woman who lacked this gift. She had a perpetual angry frown on her face and was miserable most of the time. Leo looked at her and asked how she was feeling. She glared at him and barked, " Just fine!!" " Good, now if you would only tell that to your face," Leo replied.
How to Develop Your own Pizzazz
* You have to want to.
* Associate with positive, happy, enthusiastic people.
* Begin looking at life optimistically.
* Develop a sense of humour. Remember, you aren't born with a sense of humour you develop it.
* People are attracted to those with a keen sense of humour so become a HUMOUR HOUND. Look for humour everywhere and enjoy it when it is discovered.
* Avoid negative self talk. Speak positively to yourself about yourself and others.
* Show an genuine interest in the people you are with.
* Learn to enjoy the present moment.
* Be enthusiastic about everything and everyone.
* Have fun. Life is too short not to.
