How To Be Positive Always In Life 

This guide on how to be positive will make you a stronger person if you embrace it's overall picture. Anything that makes you stronger contributes to your self improvement.

At times in your life, things will happen that make it damn difficult to find a way of feeling/ being positive.

This article will present you with the attitude that I use every day of my life to push on and progress, regardless of my circumstances. 

When your outlook is similar to mine, you'll gain the strength to handle aspects of life that sometimes make you feel low. 

You've got 2 choices in circumstances that you dislike

You can: 

A. Let this situation dominate you (let it trigger anger, sadness, fear etc) 

OR you can

B. Look for, and then act on, ways to solve the problem. You actually have the choice between the two. 

Given that you have these two options, understand that there is a challenge involved. You are tempted towards surrendering your mood to A. but what would benefit you more is B. This is a challenge.

Life overall - is a challenge

This is exactly how you need to treat every possible happening of discomfort in your life. It is a challenge. It is a test. You are being tested. 

You are being tested on your ability to handle your personal issues or weaknesses. Never mind your exam taking past! There are much more important tests present in your life, and they're happening every day.

For example, if you have an anger problem, then you'll be tested often, with life experiences that will tempt you into bringing that anger out. It'll keep happening until you realise that you have the problem, and until you solve that problem. 

Once you've worked to remove the issue, the tests will stop. Why? You'd pass the tests every time. What'd be the point when you'd already learnt how to be positive here?

It becomes obvious that the answer to 'how to be positive?' is this: Things you don't like happen sometimes to give you the opportunity to improve and grow yourself. Behind nearly every annoying or upsetting occurrence in life is a positive intention aimed at you. Sometimes bad things will happen for your own long-term benefit.

Realising this is the very essence of self improvement. Remember that it obviously isn't going to be nice when you are challenged on your personal issues - that's why they are issues!

When you see your life experiences in this way, you find a new strength inside yourself that makes you able to handle the exposure of aspects of yourself that you'd probably rather hide. You actually begin to see the point of all of the negative happenings in the world. Recognising this is half the battle in learning how to be positive.

Life difficulties are actually good things...

It is my belief that everything negative that ever happens is based on the intention to test or push people for growth. 

Everything bad has the 'greater good' as it's overwhelming priority.

So what kind of growth is being striven for? Spiritual growth. 

The growth, improvement, development (call it what you like), of yourself at your deepest core - who and what you really are. This goes way beyond anything you can physically see. 

Who's testing you?

Many would say that the answer to that question is 'god'. I don't have any evidence to offer you. I can offer you my honesty, which is this...

The more I treat life as a test designed to make me spiritually stronger, the more life itself makes sense.

If you require written proof to suggest that what I have written in my 'how to be positive' article is true, then all I can offer you is this opinion...

If you take my attitude on learning how to be positive, then even IF when you get to those 'pearly gates' this all turns out to be bull****! at least you can say that you did learn how to be positive during the challenges life threw at you!

Much Love
