We are told to remain positive no matter what, but the truth is that staying positive at all times is hard. Some challenges make it too hard to keep being positive. Some days are so dull that they feel like they are wearing us down with sadness.
Staying positive is not easy. But no one said it was. It's just like working towards success or putting in the effort to make sure something works out. It may be as simple as thinking a happy thought, but the challenge is keeping that happy thought.
Positivity is like taking a shower after a long tiring day. It changes your whole mood, boosts your energy, and makes you see things from a different perspective. It is different from negativity which saps all your energy, makes you want to give up, and shows you how nothing in life is worth it.
No matter how hard it may be to remain positive, it's always better than staying negative. You don't want to be that gloomy person in the group always with nothing good to say and nothing good going. You should see the good in life and experience it too.
Being positive starts with a simple thought. Look at all the things you are blessed with, from being able to see the day to being healthy and having warm food or people who care about you. Even when everything forces you to throw your hands in the air and break down, don't.
Your life is much more than endless disappointments and giving up. There's more to life, and you just have to find it. Focus on at least one good thing. This single positive thought has the power to draw more positive things to you. Here are positive quotes to keep up your positivity even when things are looking bad.















![If you think of someone’s good qualities as the umeboshi in an onigiri, it’s as if their qualities are stuck to their back! People around the world are like onigiri. Everyone has an umeboshi with a different shape and color and flavor. But because it’s stuck on their back, they might not be able to see their umeboshi. “There’s nothing special about me. I’m just white rice.” [in her head] That’s not true. There is an umeboshi — on your back. [aloud] Maybe the reason people get jealous of each other, is because they can see so clearly the umeboshi on other people’s backs. I can see them, too. I can see them perfectly. There’s an amazing umeboshi on your back, Kyo-kun.](/_img/width=300,height=300,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none/wp-content/uploads/8631.jpeg)
