Being positive doesn't mean not seeing the negative things or negative people that are around you, it just means that you choose to see the people that are positive and ignore the ones that are negative to your soul. You choose to see the things that are positive in your life and not let the negative things affect you. And the more you are grateful for the positive people that love you for who you are and the more you are grateful about the little things that are in your life...it can be simply to be healthy, to be able to walk on both of your feet, to have hands that you can hold things with...the more you are grateful about all the positive things in your life....the more you will attract more positive situations into your life...Just work on mastering your mind so you focus on the positive instead of the negative...

There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision. When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you
