Welcome to the game to your life.

I'm Dave Anderson, and it's time for our Friday.

Two-minute warning edition. These are posted on Fridays and designed to give you something

to think about, watch for, or to do. To finish your week strong and maximize your weekend, I will also

include an occasional red zone rant, but not today. The topic I want to discuss today is brighten

the room. You can start this with the next room you walk into. Now, some people brighten a room by leaving it. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about brightening it by entering it. Be the person that walks into a room and you can shift the whole mood, the whole culture, the whole energy level with your attitude, with your disposition, with the look you have with the way you carry yourself. That's the game change your life.

Here's some things you can do to help you pull that off. First of all, number one, put a focus on

others. See, pride walks into a room and says, here I am. Charisma walks into a room and says,

there you are, and they make it about other people. Put the focus on them. Secondly, it's almost too simple to mention, but I have to

say it, smile. Some people walk in with a look like if they were on the Mount Rushmore for morons,

that's the look on their face. No, walk in and smile. Doesn't matter if you feel like it.

Doesn't matter if you're feeling well. If you had a good night's sleep, you walk in, you smile,

you'll start to feel

better next compliment go in and look for something to compliment about the people that are there

if people are just kind of standing around let's lift them up say well you guys look ready to go

today are you ready let's get after it and you'll see them perk up you'll see them focus and

you'll inject energy just by putting a compliment it could be something

they're wearing it could be something that's going to happen that you're looking at positively next

yeah but negativity now some people yeah but positivity i'm talking about yeah butting negativity

some people says up like oh man it's cold today you say yeah but doesn't that energize you make you feel

fresh and alive i mean i love days like this just yeah but negativity don't do the

opposite or you'll be brightening the room when you leave here's here's a thought
