Staying Positive

I think its super important to stay positive in life. I will be the first one to admit that is hard to do. I sometimes get into these funks and I have to struggle to pull myself back out of them. I can only imagine a person so depressed that they cant pull themselves back from that mindset.
Something that I do to remind myself that life is really not that bad is I remember the people in my life that make me happy. I remember how much I love them, and how much they love me. I think of funny things and stories that I remember them doing or saying. I also think about my future and what I want to accomplish, and what dreams and goals I have.
Last year for about 6 months I was so unhappy. I had moved into a situation I was not prepared for, and I felt sad and alone all the time. Just when I thought about throwing in the towel and moving home to live off my mother, I was  reminded of how special the people in my life were and how special I was to them. It might have come in the form of a funny phone call or a blog post that made me laugh, it might have been a little person telling me they loved and missed me so much. Whatever it was it helped me get through a hard time in my life.
I feel like staying positive can help you get through anything and accomplish anything. Just say you are going to do something and keep positive and with hard work and determination you will.
In life health related goals especially  people give up if they don't see results right away. I keep learning the hard way that it doesn't happen over night. Its a lesson that I have to keep learning too. But the fact that I have failed so often means that I am not giving up, and I choose to think that is very positive.
