Why be Positive?
Life is too short not to be happy most, if not all, of the time.

What does it take to be positive?
When you are positive you are outwardly having fun! When you know you are doing something good, whole hearted and you aren't worried about others perceptions of you or the consequences of your good will, you are being positive. If you are able to approached every situation with an open mind and try to understand all perspectives of the situation you are being positive. If you understand that you can be and are entitled to be happy for the entire time you are here on earth no matter what situation you are faced with. (even ones that seem unrelenting and overwhelming), you are being positive!

Being positive doesnt mean you can't argue an opinion about something (as long as you dont get frustrated when somone else tries to convince you of their point of view). Being positive does not mean to you have to give in to others in fear of expressing your own opinion that may be different. You do not have to make others have a positive experience, especially if it creates a negative experience for yourself. Everyone has the power within themselves to create positivity in their own lives. So do not worry if someone tries to convince you to change your opinion by saying "your not being very positive" (obviously that person doesnt get it.)

Dont get mad when your stuck in traffic. Dont get mad when you get screwed by your boss. See the humour and the life in every situation you experience. The situations you are faced with in your life do not define you on this earth. How you experience each situation and live each experience does.

The Visual Reminder:
It is difficult to be positive all the time especially with all the different situations life can direct your way. Enrich your life with a visual reminder to always be in that positive state. Good luck! Its worth it!
