Should one stay positive even though circumstances are bad?
I have a huge question and I’ve been wondering this.
Sometimes seeing the real thing, that things suck, getting angry frustrated over them, makes us push towards better things.
Take a bad job for example, a negative attitude, would make one’s life miserable while there and might even get us fired, but what if that is the motivation we need to strive for better jobs?
Wouldn’t staying positive just make us comform with the present and maybe not look for better things since we are “already happy” without them?
What do you think?

It sounds like fluffy Bull, but think of it as something good. Find good in what it is. I was told this for 3 years before I tried it and now I did and it honestly works. Kind of how kids make everything a game. Approach it like that…. sort of.
When things go wrong as they sometimes do, it becomes even more imperative that we maintain our positive attitude. It is okay to sulk for a awhile or to let the steam out. But after a short period of “letting go”, it’s time to let the sunshine in again. It is only when our mind is clear that we are better able to decide what course of action to take to make things good again. CHEERS! Things will get better…they always do.
That is a good argument. However, by thinking about how your job sucks, you might inadvertently get another job that sucks. You can think positively, not about your sucky job, but about your “next” job. Being ALL positive is just as bad as being all negative. Your choice is to think about a positive job, or about your negative job.
