I used to be a very negative person.  I was depressed a lot and when I was alone, I cried.  Now, people tell me they admire my ability to rise above the darkness in life.  People who are negative think people who are positive have better lives.  They think we have a privileged life somehow.  We don’t.  We just choose our thoughts very carefully.  And you do not have to believe every thought you have.  Think of it like choosing what to wear each day. You choose clothes that make you feel good.  Choose your thoughts the same way and you will automatically have a better life.
