You can make yourself be more prone to see the good and the positive. Even when you do not believe it yourself, doing it can and does facilitate the habit. For some (actually many) it will take longer and be tougher. However, after acclimating yourself to being routinely optimistic, it will come naturally. Newsflash: Even very negative-prone people find other negative-prone people dreary. It's not a good thing.
