Daily Dose of Positivity - Pro & Anti Approaches

 I could protest an issue every day—taking an “anti” approach—or I could identify other options that bring in the same required result, without the downside of the present proposal. This is the “pro” approach—focusing on an alternative solution, rather than stopping something I don’t like.

With both approaches, I can stop the issue from being taken up. But in the “pro” approach, I get the outcome I want, with the added benefit of not allowing my disdain for the issue to derail a positive benefit out of it to the community.

There are certainly times when we need to stand against something, regardless of why it exists. But generally speaking, taking a solution-oriented, “pro” approach leads to more progress and sustainable change.
