Negativity.

I'm not going to lie, I think and speak negatively a lot. I'm trying to change that though, because it does nothing but bring you and the others around you down. People have troubles of their own, they don't need even more negativity from a friend or family member on top of that.

I read somewhere a few days ago that when you wake up, you should say and/or think something positive to get your day started off right. I agree with this. Instead of waking up and thinking "It's Monday, this sucks", think of something positive. Whether it's something that you're excited about that's not even going to happen weeks or a month from now, think about it. "Only so many days until that, I can't wait!" Or maybe you wake up and you look in the mirror and think "Wow, my hair didn't turn into an afro while I was sleeping, awesome!"

Also I hate it when people let one negative thing ruin their day. Sometimes it gets real bad and ruins their week, their month, their life. Don't let that happen. If you focus too much on the negative things, you'll never get to see the positive. Positivity is the key to being happy. Negativity makes you sad. It's simple.

I know I probably sound like some lame motivational speaker idiot that preaches how good it is to be positive and not to be sad, get glad. That's not why I'm writing this. I'm writing this because I'm fed up with negative people. Like I previously mentioned, when you're negative you're not only bringing your self down, you're bring the people around you down. This can cause a number of problems. When you believe that things will never get better, it's like poison. Repeating that to yourself is going to eventually make you believe that things are never going to get better, even though they more than likely are. I don't understand why people constantly complain about how things suck and will never get better. How do you know that they will never get better? Do you have some magical time machine that lets you travel to the future to find out? If so, let me borrow it. But seriously, things will get better. One of my favorite quotes is "it might be stormy now, but it can't rain forever". That quote basically explains what I just talked about.

From today on, I'm going to try to be more positive.
Unless you make me mad, then I'll hit you with a bag of potatoes.
