"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort."
- Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
I came across this saying today and thought it was great and wanted to share it with others who might be finding it hard to remain positive when there is so much negativity around them or in there life.
People have said that depression is alive and well, but ask yourself this question, ‘What are you doing to combat depression in your life?' I for one believe we have to set our mind on the positive side of life or we would all remain depressed, as life does not always show us its kinder self. We are hit with day to day problems coming at us from every direction all at once.
I have found that if we focus on the positive things in our life the negative things become smaller and easier to manage from one day to the next. It is when we focus on the negative that so many of us become overwhelmed and can not seem to find our way out of the pit we have allowed ourselves to be put in.
Maybe with the quote from Herm Albright it will help others find there way out of the darkness that has enclosed them. As this is what negativity will do to people, it can swallow a person whole and then we must find reasons to carry on in life. So, if staying positive annoys enough people maybe they too will focus on the positive in there life. If not at least they will not bring you down with them as they will not want to hear your positive attitude all the time. Thus leaving you allow to remain positive.
There will be the odd person who can not stand that your spirits are higher than theirs and try to bring you down to there level, but that is when you tell them your spirit soars no matter what the mood that ‘They' have chosen to remain in, it will not effect how you have chosen to feel today.
And who knows, showing a much more positive side to them you might lift them up too.
