Maintaining a Positive Attitude

    Having a positive attitude all the time is an extremely hard task, especially on those days where you just want to give up. One of the main things on staying happy is just accepting that those bad days are going to be there and that you won't let them bother you. Now, not letting bad things bother you is SUPER hard. Another thing on staying positive is to let your emotions out. But I would suggest doing it in private or with a person you trust. Know that it is okay to cry. Crying is just a way to relieve stress and it just feels good to let it out. NEVER keep your emotions cooped up inside. Address the problem how it is. The more you keep these emotions cooped up the more likely you are to explode with anger or just be negative.  So just remember that it is okay to let your emotions out. One of my favorite ways of trying to maintain a positive attitude is to just address the problem, think about what can you do about it, and address it in baby steps. When you address your problem in baby steps it (sometimes) is solved a bit quicker. Now every problem has a different size but solving it in baby steps can help you think straight and it can be organized. When trying to be positive you also have to think that you are good enough. When people think that they are good enough their confidence grows and it's just a new way of seeing that person. They have a positive aura. Being around people like this can also have an effect on you because people learn from other people; when you are around positive and confident people it can rub off on you and it can help boost you up! Another thing I wanted to mention was is that, you don't have to stay positive all of the time. Well, that's obvious but like I said, it's okay to show how you feel. Just try your best not to wear your heart on your sleeve. For me, it is hard not to do that because well (I admit it), I can be a sensitive person. We live in a world that is surrounded by negativity but we can also make this world positive by working in baby steps to become positive people.

Weekly Challenge (It's for next week)

   We all know that life isn't fair and at times we just want to rage quit life. Life isn't a swirly twirly land of gumdrops and rainbows (however, that would be nice). Life is unfair and humbling. Now you might be asking, isn't this a positive website that is supposed to be inspiring. Yes, this is a positive website, I am just being frank with you guys. Plus, the inspiring stuff comes later. Now one thing we can do to make life a little easier is to be fair to other people. Now, this is a really hard thing to do because, like I have said multiple times in the past, it's easier said than done.We also have multiple ways of being fair and nice. My whole point of this blog post is TRY to be nice and fair, and while you try to be nice STAY POSITIVE! :)

Don't deny it

What Is Your Goal in Life?

    We all set goals in our life but do we actually follow these goals? If you have followed and accomplished these goals, what did you do to accomplish it (like a New Years resolution)? Something I have learned in the past is to set a realistic way on how to accomplish my goal. The more realistic, the better (in my opinion). Realistic goals can also be baby steps towards a big goal. Say your goal was to earn five hundred dollars by the end of the month. How would you start earning that money? Would you start your own business? But to create your own business you need to plan it out. Would you think about what you are going to sell or strategies on how to earn the five hundred dollars by the end of the month? Do you get what I'm saying? It takes more than just believing in yourself to accomplish a goal. A goal takes hard work and lots of elbow grease. Just remember, while you accomplish your goal STAY POSITIVE! :)

Perfection Is the Enemy of Greatness!

  So as you can see from the title, this article is about how perfection is boring. Actually, the title is something my set design teacher always tells me because I am a perfectionist when it comes to set design (and some other things). We are all unique. Without unique qualities, the whole world would be boring and dreary. Now someone may say that there are many bad unique qualities. Not necessarily. Do you think that all people are born bad? I personally think that people aren't born bad. I think that it has to do with how they were treated when they were younger or their perception on life. But without those opinions, we wouldn't have diverse people! But back to the original subject, the definition of perfect is different for many people. A lot of people perceive perfect as no flaw but, some other people may see the word perfect and think of many flaws that aren't visible. We all have good qualities about us and we all have bad qualities. We just need to learn how to make those bad qualities good ones. Plus without those bad qualities, how are you suppose to balance out the good? I know that sounds crazy but, think about it. Life is not perfect. It is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of perfect. Life is messy. You just have to sort it out. Just remember to stay positive! :)

How to De-Stress

Stress is a feeling that is tiring and frustrating. At times, I personally wish that stress wouldn't exist but, then again where would some motivation come from? Here are some of the things that help me de-stress my life:
1. Take a walk or do something to get your mind off of what is stressing you out.

2. Lay down and ponder about how you can help resolve your stress.
3. Exercise
4. Focus on something different (Like homework or something fun).
5. Take a deep breath and face it head on (This is my last resort if these above options don't work).
Honestly, you can't avoid stress (sadly). Sometimes you just have to face that stress will be forever in your life. I know that doesn't sound positive but how about this, turn that stress into motivation to help you. Then after you are done with what you are stressed about, reward yourself with ice cream or a book, something healthy. I hope this helps out! Stay Positive! :)
