Positive or Negative?

We can complain that rose brushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses. (Abraham Lincoln)

It’s curious, isn’t it, how people see life differently? Pessimist or optimist? Happy-go-lucky or melancholy? Is our tendency to be one or the other innate or learned? Whatever the case, we can certainly improve our outlook by associating with happy, positive-minded people and intentionally looking for the bright side.

For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast. (Proverbs 15:15)
