Some people ask me how I stay so positive through everything, and the honest answer is it’s not something I can sum up in a single sentence. There are so many elements to staying positive, which is why I’ve made a list of the general things I’ve found are most important to leading a more positive and happier life. You may be very surprised that I’ve listed 50 things, but I think once you read through them you too will realise just how important each one is. That isn’t to say you must achieve all 50 things to be happy or become a positive person, as a lot of the points will be things you already do, while other points will jump out at you and make you think “that’s definitely something I need to work on”. I would suggest today taking just a few points from this list of things that you feel you need to and want to work on. Take it one step at a time, and eventually you’ll get there. Staying positive is a 24/7 job; it’s not something that just happens overnight. It isn’t always easy, but the one thing I can tell you is it is 100% worth it.
