Here on cs I have noticed a lot of negativity. Some are out of pure spite, while others are the state of mind of the person.
Here are 15 quotes about positivity from well-known people who have faced failure and success, who despite certain odds and challenges stayed positive. Use their words to get you going on your own good vibes:
1. “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.” — Helen Keller
2. “Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.” — Willie Nelson
3. “Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.” — Lyndon B. Johnson
4. “In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.” — Dalai Lama
5. “I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.” — Walt Disney
6. “Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.” — Zig Ziglar
7. “Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.” — William James
8. “You can’t make positive choices for the rest of your life without an environment that makes those choices easy, natural, and enjoyable.” — Deepak Chopra
9. “The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I see it, is service to a fellow human being.” — Lee lacocca
10. “Positive thinking is more than just a tagline. It changes the way we behave. And I firmly believe that when I am positive, it not only makes me better, but it also makes those around me better.” — Harvey Mackay
11. “In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.” — Les Brown
12. “I’m a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.” — Roger Federer
13. “Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.” — Colin Powell
14. “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” — Winston Churchill
15. “Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so let us all be thankful.” — Buddha

When we are positive, Nothing is too much to do, and Nothing is too big to overcome. We have day dreams about the possible (plans) and impossible (wishes), and if we stay positive All becomes possible.
Maybe the goals are not that easy to reach, but you will have the patience to wait for them and realise them when the time is right.
Never give up on Anything you want. Work hard and all will become possible!!!!

Nice thread Smiley ! I'm not that long on CS and I've been bashing qiute a lot on my posts, or on my comments, whil I try to be witty and just wanna do some funny posts,... Some people don't like my kinda humor, and just starting to bashing.... So I decided to post no comments, or started threads of my own anymore. I just don't wanna have drama in my life anymore, I'm to old for that! So I'm happy its of my liver now ( Belgian expression)
It’s a strained and rough around the edges type of positivity I admire, we call it gallows humour and that’s the refusal to feel violated and controlled by the horrific reality in front of you.
I starkly contrast this against positivity coerced and the morale drubbing. The horrific reality in front of you ordering you to be positive.

I like Dusty for you. Suits you perfectly. I know the feeling. Toxic and Negative people, enjoy destroying all the good, kind and nice. You try to ignore them, but they just get worse. You try to get them off your threads, which makes them much worse. You can comment on my threads, as they don't bug me too much, as people are just people, and I can ignore them. Bad will never become good, never mind how much you hope for it. So just stop hoping. Every cloud has a silver lining! Always!
Eternal positivity is equally bad to you as constant negativity is ... Going through your emotions is best you can do, positive or negative they are yours and should be understood and proceed... Allow yourself to be what you feel like and move on in the right emotional state...
