postive or negative? you choose

My personal attitude toward almost everything is optimistic. I try to always see the glass as half full. I think it is pointless to have a negative view toward anything. Sometimes it is very hard to not think of a certain situation negatively, but I always try to find something positive about it before I let it become completely negative. Most of my friends are this way too. I feel it is much better to try to surround myself with a bunch of positive, happy go lucky people. This keeps me happier and more care free. Obviously if you surround yourself with negative people who are all emo and not trying to have a good attitude then you too could potentially get sucked into their way of life. Negativity is just a toxic environment that I do not want to be part of. I like to think that I help out my friends and family by keeping up a happy positive out look on life and hopefully inspire them to have my same views. :)
