“You’re off to great places, today is your day. Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way.” Dr. Seuss
Being able to see the glass as “half full” instead of “half empty” is a challenge sometimes, especially when the glass looks pretty empty.
Staying positive is an important skill to have if you want to live a happy, healthy life. If you constantly only see the negative side of things, life isn’t going to be very fun.
If you need a boost of positivity, here are few things you should remember.
You are in control of your life.
Sometimes it feels like no matter what we do – no matter what good we do – it feels like the world is out to get us. Those are the days where you have to remember that only you can turn things around. You truly can do whatever you put your mind to.
You are the one who decides to smile even when things aren’t going your way. Only you can take the next step towards self-improvement. Other people are in control of what they do; only you are in control of what you do. When things aren’t going your way, take control and change that.
You are the perfect you.
You are 100% unique. Nobody other than you knows the highs and lows you have experienced. Be proud of that. Even if you feel that you need to improve some things, appreciate your self-awareness and the progress you’ve already made. You have the potential for greatness in you. Let it out.
Confidence is the most beautiful trait a person can have. You have a reason to be confident: you are you. You are living YOUR life. Be proud of your body, your decisions, and your journey. Don’t let anybody tell you that you are worth less than you know you are.
Take a moment to enjoy what you have.
It’s very easy to get caught up in how green the grass looks on the other side, especially when you have goals based on self-improvement. We focus a lot of attention on how, “I’ll be happy when I accomplish this goal,” instead of trying to be happy and positive in the moment.
A desire to improve yourself is a good thing, yes. But every now and then, you should take a moment to appreciate all the hard work that has brought you to where you are right now, this moment, today. It may not seem like it in low moments, but you have good things in your life. Take a moment to appreciate them.
