Find the Positive
Instead of always finding the negative in someone how about we search for the positive. Everyday find and point out the positive in everything. Though sometimes someone may look absolutely terrible, still find one good thing. That positive thing that you pointed out may make that person’s day or may even save their life. A positive word can make just as much impact as a negative one if taken to heart the same way. Sometimes when someone compliments us we reason the kindness out of it. We think they’re out to get us, they’re forced to say that because they’re related to me, or they’re being sarcastic. WHO CARES? The best way to defeat any of those things is to just take the compliment and act as if it was the most genuine thing in the world. There is always a reason to be positive whether you feel like it or not. Fake it ‘till you make it.
Sincerely,
Someone trying to be Optimistic
