The Power of Being Positive

I've always been an advocate for positive thinking. It's easier to be positive, happy and cheerful than negative, down and apathetic. Why is it that most people in this world love to live in their misery? I'll admit, I've gone through phases where nothing feels more comforting than to wallow in a pool of self-pity, but in hindsight, it was a complete waste of time. It must be the new year, but I am ALL about have a positive attitude and living life with the glass half full. Otherwise, why get out of bed? I've been VERY aware of my thoughts and attitude these days and in turn, I've been acutely aware of attitudes of my family members, friends and people I come across on a daily basis. One thing is for sure: there are FEW people out there who make it a point to wake up each morning and tell themselves today is going to be a great day. So, with that said, I am on a MISSION to turn people around!

I have various reasons for this mission, but the main reason is because I want my friends and family to live happy lives. I genuinely want that more than anything in this world. More than money, fame, and power, I sincerely wish for my loved ones to BE TRULY HAPPY.
