10 Reasons Not to be a Cynic

Are you like me tired of every where you turn you run into a cynic? It seems the economy, poor business leadership and questionable government actions, not to mention professional cynics on TV, seem to be turning us to a country where cynicism is the default emotion. I say those of us who dislike the cynical attitudes and desire a more positive approach to living copy the following list and send it to our cynical friends and family.

Let's turn this negativism around one person at a time!

10 Reasons Not to be a Cynic


1. Always taking a contrary position puts you at constants odds with people.

2. If you never trust others, deep down you no longer trust yourself.

3. Cynicism never made anyone a better person.

4. It’s easy to always say, “No” but the person you hurt most is yourself.

5. If you always think negatively, you get what you expect.

6. The definition of cynicism: an attitude of jaded negativity. Does that sound healthy?

7. Most cynics look for opportunities to be critical. Isn’t it better to look for opportunities to be constructive?

8. It takes character to make a positive difference. It takes little effort to be destructively cynical.

9. Cynics are fuels by anger. Optimists are fueled by eagerness. Which do you prefer to fuel your life?

10. Is “Pissed Off” the default setting you want in life?
