I agree with what you are saying; to be positive and happy will get you a lot further in life. There are too many people walking around being negative and they miss out on so many opportunities they would have seen if they had been positive and open-minded. I read an article by Med Yones, a happiness consultant, in which the effects of pessimistic and optimistic thinking patterns are covered. It states “…real transformation and happiness is not the result of positive thinking. Positive thinking is the effect not the cause”.

Rebecca and Beth: This makes so much sense to me. I too agree with everything I read and felt lighter reading it. But we already know this stuff: the trick is to remember it!

Oh, I love this story! I’m a major optimist, and I agree with everything I read.
