We can easily define what education is or how to distinguish a cultured person from a rude one. But not everyone will be able to clearly and concretely tell what a positive person is. «The one with whom it is pleasant to communicate», «a cheerful person », «the one who loves and understands everyone» — about such vague signs people describe a positive person. Despite the inaccuracy of the wording, we all perfectly recognize such people and instinctively reach out to them.
«Expectation», «chance», «hope for luck» are words of a passive contemplative and never occur in the vocabulary of a positive person. They tend to be very actively involved in building their lives. They are working to make changes in the world around them to feel better in difficult times, rather than waiting for a unique combination of stars in the sky.
Many people try to cling to their favorite ideas, things, or even people to the last, spending their best strength and energy on it. Positive people easily let go of everything superfluous and unnecessary, as soon as they realize that it prevents them from living.
Good and bad memories should stay exactly where they belong in the past. Positive people don't spend a lot of time longing for the good old days because they are too busy working on their present and future day. Negative experiences of the past are not used for self-flagellation or regret, but for analyzing the causes and learning lessons as a stepping stone to a better future.
Positive people do not focus on the roughness and stones on their way, but are ready to sincerely thank God, fate, life for every step taken on the road. For every day full of new events, smells, impressions, feelings. They see life as a treasure chest full of wonders.
Optimistic people try to see what they can do, not what they can't do. They are looking for opportunities and solutions, and not fixating on why it is impossible. Even if they fail, they look for new options and make new attempts, not trying to blame everything on their first failure.
Those who are at the mercy of their fears and prejudices will never be able to live a full and open life. Positive people do not neglect reasonable security measures, but they will never allow themselves, out of fear of the unknown, not to try an exotic dish, not to visit a new country or engage in a new activity.
This is their most visible trait, which everyone likes so much.
Positive people have a high degree of self-esteem, but refuse to take themselves too seriously.
Positive people not only usually stay in a good mood themselves, but also mysteriously know how to convey it to others. Optimism, an easy attitude to life, a good sense of humor and irony — all these qualities are mandatory signs of such people.
It is difficult to imagine a positive person who would lead a closed, secluded, dull lifestyle. As a rule, such people love and are excellent at communicating, like to make new acquaintances and be in society. You will not hear gossip and gossip from them, but rather you can expect a lively sincere participation and real help.
One of the biggest mistakes is to think that positive people are always happy. Just as it is impossible to recognize light without having been in the dark, as it is impossible to evaluate good without comparing it with evil, positive people can suffer and despair.
They know perfectly well what negative emotions are, but consciously choose the positive side.
Positive people respect themselves too much to cultivate a victim complex. From them you will not hear lamentations and complaints about a bad boss, a grumpy wife or a crop failure. They will not blame other people or cosmic forces for their problems, but rely only on themselves and their own strength.
As you can see, becoming a positive person is not difficult at all. It is only necessary to work purposefully on yourself and cultivate the habits and skills listed above. Shall we try?
