The world is too negative to fuel the fire with more undesirable things. I am always positive. I've been through so many bad things in my life to go back and think about them. Unfortunately, damaging experiences are part of being human; they forged us. Hopefully, we learn from our mistakes. When a person overcomes exactly what life has served him/her, he/she must start acting positively. Be proud of yourself. I've been through a breakup, and now I know what I did wrong and that's how it's meant to be.
However, here comes the mistakes we humans make. Again, we look back, even positively . Look around. Everything, regardless of what is happening, should motivate us and make us more positive. I'll give you a few examples.
Family
Parenthood is one of the most important factors when it comes to positivity.
You gave life to a wonderful creature; it runs around you, hooting and hollering. Instead of thinking negatively about what kind of world it will live he/she, think about the here and now. You are with him/her. He/she learns from you, like an absorbent sponge.
He/she copies your habits and motivates you to be a better parent. Yes, it cannot be denied that your old mistakes or experiences play a role here. Forget them. They already created you, and now you have control over someone other than yourself. It is my son, who is not yet familiar with the world and its problems, who always makes me positive.
After a hard day's work, when I come home, he is waiting for me - to hug me, snuggle into me and fall asleep on my chest. That's positivity. As he learns from me, so I learn from him. And when a person is calm, they can rationally and positively deal with any problem that arises.
Friends
Hang out with people like you. Why surround yourself with bad friends? They shouldn't just be part of the phone book to call when needed. Friends are a part of you, just like family. With them, you create memories that make you smile and be positive.
Recently, I mentally fell apart because of friends who used and abused me to make themselves feel superior. There is no way one can stay positive in such a case. But then I thought about it. It is not important that you have many friend -, it is important that you have one or two who are real. I remember exactly those funny incidents and memories that we experienced. One of my favourites:
April Fool's Day.
My best friend and I ring people's doorbells.
Someone picks up the intercom and we say, "Police, open up!"
Yes, it was a crime , but we were young.
A child calls and we hear it say, "Daddy, it's for you."
It was one of those funny incidents that still brings a smile back to our faces when we think about it.
It is the joyful memories (not the bad ones) we create with loved ones that make us positive and will remain with us forever.
suffer from the past, to long for the future, but to forget the present.
