There is a lady I know that took me awhile to like as a friend. She was too damn perky. She had a positive outlook for everything in life. So not what I was used to in the people around me.
Because I have a business tie with her I've had the opportunity to see past her ever positive outlook in life and have had an epiphany. It's not that she truly sees the best in everything and everyone. It's that where she sees an obsticle she resets her frame of mind to seek out the best in every situation. She is now one of my dearest friends and I am in awe of her. The past two years have been so hard (emotionally, financially, etc) but even when I've broken down and given up she helps me find the good again. You know what? Even when I don't believe her that there is a light at the end of the tunnel the simple fact that she has hope gives me hope. My world would be so much darker without her.
Her life motto is that what you think about you bring about.
If you are the constant victim in life... If bad things always happen to you... You are setting yourself up to expect to be a victim and you are (believe it or not) seeking out bad things so that you can be right! "They fired me, I told you I can't keep a job." "He left me. I told you I wasn't good enough for him." Whatever.
When you choose to change your frame of mind you will be amazed at how your life will follow suit. What you think about you will bring about.

Thanks for sharing, Merr! This is great! It's impossible to be positive ALL the time, that's why we have friends like yours to remind us that it's worth it to keep trying and to send positive vibes our way. It's also our jobs to do that for them when needed. Thanks again for posting. I like this.

Thanks, Merrr! I think you're pretty wonderful!
