Staying Positive

Lets face it, life is hard sometimes and it can hit you down like a ton of bricks to the point where it feels impossible to get back up, but it's how you react to these situations that is important. I am a strong believer that what you put out into the universe will come back to you in someway. I have some great examples in my life where I have seen others deal with unimaginable things in a way that both inspire and motivate me to be a more positive person. There have been times in my life personally where it has been hard to be happy when shitty things happen and it is so important to have people in your life who will lift you up, not keep you down; letting go of those individuals has made a significant difference in my life. It also has a lot to do with changing your mindset and though that does not happen overnight, when you can get to a place where you know that you may not be having the best day but that it could always be worse and that it can also change in a second, life is much easier. I also think that being positive has a lot to do with being ready for good things to happen in your life and while I will not go into detail about some of those things happening in mine (at least not yet..) it really does make a difference when you invite positive energy into your life. Just some food for thought.
What are some things that you do to stay positive?
