By Randy Hain, Linkedin - As we ponder this idea of being jaded or joyful, think about the holiday season we are in right now and the opportunity we have to finish 2020 well and prepare for a more positive, hopeful and joyful 2021. We can fight the widespread gloom that surrounds us by spreading goodwill and joy any way we can. We can greet others with kindness, a smile and “Merry Christmas!” or use the holiday greeting with which we are most comfortable. We can speak with work colleagues, friends and family with the desire to bring joy and cheerfulness to the conversation rather than complaints.
