being positive

Being a positive person doesn't mean you have to be bubbly, chipper and happy 24/7. It is okay to feel down. You are only human and it is part of the human experience. Don't suppress these feelings when they come. Acknowledge them, feel them and accept them as a chapter in your journey. You can't fast forward through parts of the movie just like you can't fast forward through the bad parts in your life and expect it all to make sense. Keep watching and you'll learn to understand why certain experiences were significant to the overall story. Being positive isn't the absence of pain. Find meaning to the struggle and see the light in the distance no matter how far away it may seem at the time. Have faith those bad feelings are just temporary visitors.

Confessing something that's been on your mind lifts a huge weight off of you.

The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it's only in the black of the night, you can see the stars, and those stars will lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall, because most of the time, the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get everything you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you? The road is long and in the end, the journey is the destination.
