In aggregate, these situations have helped me see that even though staying positive can be hard work, it’s an important goal to aspire to. Still, one of the lessons life is good at driving home is that in the long run, you’re probably going to be put in a lot of situations where you don’t have much control over what happens, so the best you can try for is having a say in how you react to what happens. Surely it should go in the other direction, that you become more optimistic by solving your problems, no? The idea that being optimistic can solve all your problems never really rang true to me. Honestly, I tend to tune out when people talk about the power of positive thinking.
