I can be positive most days, but some times it is hard.
I watched folks along time ago and figured out that the folks that are happy are happy because they decided they will be that way.
Some on here are very positive and have terrible burdens.
I have a down day because I made a purchasing or sales mistake. Then I see others burdens and realize the Lord has been extremely kind to me and my family.
All else fails I ask these questions.
Did anyone die over it?
Did anyone get hurt over it?
Will any one go hungry over it?
Will someone in 50 years know or care about it?
IF the answer to these questions is no, then it doesn't matter.
Of course if the answer to one of them is yes, One has to ask, have I done every thing practical to create a favorable outcome? If the answer is yes. Be happy and move on
I have a friend with teenagers who get a little dramatic. Her response is to them is... "Yes, but did you die? " Sometimes laughing at the absurdity of things helps.

How do you stay positive?
