Positivity

Today I ran into the issue of not knowing how exactly to put into words why I stay positive.  So it's stayed in my head as I've been trying to figure it out. 

How do you put into words for someone you care about why you are a positive and happy person and the reasons you want them to be as well? 

It's just natural for me to be positive and happy.  Sure I have my down days, I had a really down whole period of time as well, but I can't allow myself to dwell on past occurrences and questions I don't know the answers to and bring my spirits down.   So I don't think of the past and I try to savor the present.  One wouldn't swallow whole an expensive steak they had sit in front of them simply because they were hungry.  You take it in small pieces, bite by bite enjoying all the flavors mixed into it.  I guess that's how I see life.  The moments we have right now are most important.  Taking in all that goes on and enjoying it as it happens.  That's what keeps me positive, the little things that happen each day that make me smile.

But why is it we as humans start feeling for others and want to share our happiness with them?  It hasn't been until now that I felt that I really wanted someone else to feel as happy just in general as I do.  What triggers that feeling?  I feel like I'm asking  more questions than I'm actually explaining, but that's how it seems to be in my mind. 

Since God gave us this life, I feel like it should be a wonderful journey.  Sure, I'd love to have my friends around me everyday and be in love again, but I'm not at that point right now.  So I take it a step at a time and enjoy the scenery. One of my happy songs that I really love is called "Brand New Day" by Joshua Radin.  It talks about the sun is shining on a brand new day and lots of positive things.  But it is true, everyday is a new opportunity to have a wonderful adventure. So why not jump on the ride and go?
