Positive or negative?

No, this is not a pregnancy test. The question, positive or negative person, is it a choice? Which do you choose to be?
I consider myself to be a fairly positive person, but it seems to me a large amount of people choose to be positively negative. Doing what works. Attitude is everything, so pick a good one. -Dr. Wayne Dyer. Thanks to him, I assess myself everyday. Am I being the best me I can be? It is a choice. If misery is the attitude of choice, guess what, that comes back.
In the past I worked with a sad man. He would talk about how it was others that made him miserable. I would point out .....things will work out, if you are positive...his response, "I'm positive, I'm positive it won't work out". It takes persevering and patience to tolerate others. Compassion for others may be obvious to some, but compassion for oneself may be a different story. Some people may not know they are in control of their lives. If there is a difficult time, I look in the easiest place first. Within.... Who knows me better? Control of my life seems better then letting others do it for me. Sooooooo my choice is a positive one. Yay for the positive people, pray for the negative.
