Hi, gauravhassani! I heartily agree with you. I believe having a positive attitude about life is so important for both mental and physical well being. Life is not perfect, and everyone is going to go through their ups and downs. I find that if I try to be positive even in a negative situation it helps me to cope through the storms in my life. It always seems that whatever I've been through, I've come out of it a stronger person.

Being positive is more like choosing to dwell on the more pleasant side of things without becoming a hysterical fanatic. Let's say that 10 things happened to you today. Nine of them were bad and one was good. WITHOUT DENYING the reality of the nine bad things, you focus more than 10% of your attention on the one good thing that went right. Some of the most psychologically hardy people think like this.

I think that when a person is more positive, they accomoplish more in life, and are overall happier people than those who are always negative. If a person goes through life thinking that they cannot do things all of the time, they really won't be able to accomplish them simply because they don't care to try due to fear of failure. I am one that fears failure on many levels, but am overall a positive person, and as a result, my positiveness helps me to push forward and WANT to succeed. I know people who are always saying that they "can't" do this or that and as a result, haven't accomplished much of anything. They could do things if they were just more positive about it all. Thr problem is, they may try to do things, but go in it with a negative attitude and as a result, make a bad impression or give up every time a small obstacle gets in the way, rather than continuing to tell themselves that they can do it, and continuing to push forward. In my opinion, positive people are also more fun to be around, they may have a problem that they are dealing with, but they don't become as upset about each obstacle in life. In my case, obstcles are just more learning excperiences, and puzzles I need to solve to get to my goal. If I was a negative person, I think that I would be in a state of financial ruin. I would not have had the nerve to continue on with the many things I do to earn a living and actually succeed in them.
