How do you stay positive?

I'd like to thank everyone for all of the great posts. Everything everyone has said has pretty much changed my life in the past few days. I've been negative my whole entire life and I've just recently realized how much it's been hurting me. In order to better myself I decided to pick up a few books, to just change my outlook on life. I am pretty humbled by all of the wisdom shared here.

I've recently let go of the hatred and anger that I have for others and forgave them. I also started going out again with my old friends, I forgave people that I was angry with, and found a cool and relaxed place near my house to run. To anyone else out there who has a negative outlook, I challenge you to change it, because it's only going to make unnecessary stress in your life. Also if you're negative in the end of the day you're only hurting yourself, while the rest of the world is content.

Sex,
or try "The secret" as some have suggested. I've got the pdf (lawofattraction) of it as well, PM me if you want it.

You don't have to be positive about your job. You may even hate it (I do).

This is all mater of money. When you are all done and settled with your work, you throw your 'working suit' away and now you are LORD = the consumer. And this is why you do your work from time to time...

I surround myself with short statements of positive affirmation like "My circumstances do not create me, I create my circumstances."

Staying positive.. Well first you need to keep in your mind that you're doing your work honestly. Nothing more important than peace of mind. Secondly try to get closer to your religion. Trust me this helps. If you're muslim read Quran more. And last but not the least and be proud of who and where you are.

Try reading some novels, I will recommend reading novels of Da Vinci!!!
Hope it helps!
