I try. I really do try to see the positive in most things. Despite my best efforts I know that I'm guilty of being a 'Negative Nelly' more often that I'd care to admit. Today I forced myself to see the positive in the situation I was facing, and to my surprise it actually worked. The day that I once dreaded, turn out to be not so bad.
I have recently become aware of just how much other people's positive or negative energies impact my mood. Ideally, I would love to rid myself of the negative energy, but sometimes that is not possible. Many times these negative thinkers are integral people in my life, and ridding myself of them is just not an option. The truth is, sometimes they are not wrong. Some situations are just crappy, but the energy that is expended lamenting is often just not worth it. It is what it is, and no amount of moaning will change that.
I have decided to make an honest effort to see the glass as half full more often than half empty. I will not promise absolutes. I will not promise to never see the negative, I will simply aim to be on the greener side of the grass more often than not.
