"The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world & the world at large." -- Confucius
I have been a strong believer that if you think positively, the world around you will seem so much brighter. Everything in the world is seem differently by different eyes. What I see in one thing, may not be the same thing you see in that exact same thing. The thing is not different. Our points of view are different.
There is so much negativity out there. All you have to do is turn on the television and all you get are things that can depress you. The news is mostly comprised of accidents, murders and people stealing money from each other. If you sit down to watch a movie, most of them have anger, hatred and all kinds of ill will towards each other. Sure most of them end happily, but getting to that happy ending just fills your mind with all kinds of negativity. This is not good for you.
Think about avoiding those things that bring negativity to your mind. Avoid the news. all you need are the headlines to keep yourself abreast with what is going on in the world. Don't watch these headlines in the morning. Wait till you have already started your day in a good way before you introduce those negative thoughts. If you can avoid them altogether, then do that. Find things that make you happy. Find things you can do that bring you some sort of peace and enjoyment. Do these things briefly everyday.
If you can bring good and happy things into your life, you will be amazed at the quality of your life. You will be a happier person. You will be able to handle the things that are not so good. You will also find you are healthier. You will not be sick quite as often. So think positively and have some fun.

Are You Contagious?
"Happiness is contagious. Be a carrier" ~Robert Orben
Have you ever looked at someone and just laughed. Then because you laughed, they start laughing. I do this all the time to my little nieces. They have no idea why they are laughing. They have no idea why I am laughing. All they know is that my laugh is making them laugh. That's kind of funny.
Here is something you can experiment with. When you are out in public, start laughing for no reason. People will start to look at you with curiosity. They will want to know what is making you laugh. They might even start laughing because you are laughing. If anything you will have brought a little humor to other peoples lives.
If you think just laughing is creepy, then pick up your cell phone and pretend you are laughing at someone on the other side of the call. Or wear your earphones and point to them when other people look at you funny. You will have to laugh harder to get a response out of them, but at least you won't seem like a creepy, insane, happy person.

Make Yourself Happy
"Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response." ~ Mildred Barthel
Have you ever thought about this? You may laugh at a joke, you may find things around you, but you choose to laugh. You have a choice to laugh. You may think that you don't, but if you put your mind to it, you can force yourself to keep a strait face instead of laughing.
The exact opposite is true as well. While you are sitting there in your seat in front of your computer or your smartphone or even your tablet reader, just start laughing. You can laugh for no reason. When you start laughing, you will find that funny and that will make you laugh. Try it. I Dare You. The laughing will make you feel good. There is something in your body, a hormone or something that is released when you laugh that makes you happy. So just laugh. Laugh when you are in your car and you just had a rough drive to work. If you laugh yourself into a good mood before you walk into the building, you will have a better day than if you walked in with the sourness from the guy who cut you off.
If you think you are a naturally pessimistic person, I am here to tell you, that is a choice you have made. Change that choice. Whenever you catch yourself being pessimistic, change your thinking. If you need to, start laughing. The people around you will wonder what happened to you.
