The Positive Spirit is Fully Alive

The disciple asked the master, “How is it that you always have a bright positive attitude to life?”

The disciple asked the master, “How is it that you always have a bright positive attitude to life?”

The master replied, “When you wake up in the morning you can choose to live the day in a good mood or bad mood. When something bad happens you can choose to be a victim or to learn from it. When you are met by complaint and negative remarks you can choose to accept them or point out the positive side of life.”

It is essentially a question of choice and enthusiasm. The thing about a positive attitude is that it is contagious. Being positive we can brighten our day, draw others into the positive atmosphere and see opportunity in every event.

“No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.”
