This is something I've been giving a lot of thought to recently. My life has been going pretty great lately (except for a few small hiccups that aren't completely in my control) and I've been very happy. Even though I do sort of pick at small things, I've noticed I have less of a reason to complain, and when I do complain, I can usually find a silver lining.
These days I'm more interested in believing in the best of people--especially those who I don't naturally get along with, or whose opinions and lifestyles are in conflict with my own--as well as wanting to uplift others instead of tear them down.
In the past I was really negative and it is something I still struggle with from time to time, but it's something I mostly want to get rid of in myself. I've noticed that I do go through cycles and it also has to do with season and how my mental state is and all of that.
So do you consider yourself a positive person? What are ways that you stay positive? What are areas of you're life that you're negative about, and what do you plan to do/how do change or control them?
