You know, Dear Reader, one day I just woke up and consciously realized I had a choice in how I would be in thought, attitude, and actions and I consciously decided that I was going to be a positive person day in and day out and that no matter what happened in my life, no matter what problem or obstacle I was faced with, I was going to remain positive.
 To be positive means to be:
Constructive in intention or attitude
Showing optimism and confidence
Showing pleasing progress, gain, or improvement, with no possibility of doubt
Clear and definite
Becoming conscious, I became constructive in my intention. I became constructive in my attitude, really realizing that attitude was a major component of success and it was my goal to be successful in every aspect of my life, especially in love, family, business, and social standing. Truly, attitude, along with aptitude, determines one altitude - how high one will fly in life. I had to adopt and maintain a positive attitude or mental outlook in order to improve and enhance my life.
One of my favorite songs is Patrick O'Hearn's "Forever the Optimist" and I decided to make that phrase my personal motto and mantra. From that day forward (of consciously choosing and deciding to be positive), I would be forever the optimist. Even if I had to convey seemingly pessimistic information to people, I would be oxymoronically optimistic in conveying such message.
Everyday of my life became brighter because I was optimistic about brighter days. I became hopeful of a better tomorrow and today manifests the realization of that hope. Yesterday was the foundation for my today and my today is the foundation for my tomorrow. Because I was positive, optimistic, and inspired yesterday, I am positive, optimistic, and inspired today and therefore will be the same tomorrow. Positive thoughts, emotions, and actions accrue.
Just like positivity, optimism created magnetism. Pessimism repels people. Nobody really likes to be around a pessimistic person. There's a big difference between a pessimist and an optimist. A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity whereas an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
I removed all possibility of doubt - doubt of positive outcomes and brighter days, realizing that doubt is the subconscious will to fail in many regards and respects.
I became clear and definite about my purpose in life, what I incarnated this time around to do, and I became faithful and trustful in my abilities to live out and perform my life's higher purpose.
Again, Dear Reader, I became positive via choice and decision. I had the choice and I made the decision. You too have that choice and a can also make that decision if you haven't already. It would be in your best interest too if you made that decision to consciously be positive. If you don't think so, give it a try for 20 days (or 3 weeks) and see what happens.
Positivity offers many benefits and dividends to be reaped over the years of your life. Positivity raises your vibration. It enhances your aura. It attracts people to you. Positivity makes you a bright light that shines in the midst of the darkness of negativity. Positivity neutralizes negativity. The cells of your body salubriously respond to positive emotion.
If person says something negative try to say something positive in response to what was said, and after a couple of rounds of going back and forth and matching negativity with positivity, the negative person would retreat.
The negative person (psychic vampire) always retreated because I wasn't feeding their negativity. My answers did not serve as fuel for their engine of negativity. Soon, it was impressed upon the negative person not to talk to me, at least about negative stuff, because I would not feed their negativity, but in many instances, I would soundly challenge their negativity which apparently some felt comfortable being, perhaps due to years of self-conditioning predicated upon consistent and habitual thoughts.
I defeated negativity in people by remaining positive. It eventually became very easy too because in being and remaining positive, I was simply being myself and to be myself was (and still is) the easiest thing for me to do.
Being positive is a choice!
