PANTHER PRIDE FOCAL POINT
I read an interesting article on a science experiment the other day. It posed this question; “What happens if you take an already moldy piece of fruit and place it in a bowl with perfectly good fruit?” Here’s what they found, the mold from the rotten fruit actually spreads to the good fruit causing them to spoil much sooner than they naturally would. The mold literally jumped from the bad fruit to the good fruit! Which brings us to today’s Panther Pride Focus. If we surround ourselves with negative energy, whether it be people, ideas, and/or situations for a prolonged period of time, that negative can start to become you. A takeaway here is that when you find yourself surrounded by negative thoughts, ideas, or even people, Get yourself out of there and get into a more positive space! I mean why do you think funny cat videos are so popular? They help separate you from the mold. Just a little food for thought…. Have a positive week and LET’S GO PANTHERS!
