It is true when they tell you that your own happiness is, literally, in the palm of your hands. It is also true that it is entirely up to you to see the cup as half empty or half full. It is absolutely correct when you hear people say that the door is open, and it is entirely up to you to walk through the way. Positivity versus negativity – is it something we learn, inherit or adopt to. According to experts, while there is grain of truth when people say that it is all in the mind and that you can control your reaction to the things happening around you with thoughts but the truth is that a huge part of natural instincts is inherited.

So if you are an endlessly lark happy person, go thank the parent who is happy. You have inherited his or her happy genes. If you are a negative person, it is not the end of the world. There are good and bad sides to everything and being negative is not necessarily all bad (although you tend to have less fun when you like to pout more than you like to pull pranks).

But there are ways to kicking negativity out of the door and this requires a fair bit of practice in mind control. No, I am not talking about reading minds, silly. Some people said that thinking positive feelings is wishful thinking and that is impractical. Hardly true, if you asked me. The purpose of summoning happy feelings and positive emotions is not so that we can pretend bad things don't happen. People who do that are in denial.

Thinking up happy and positive things helps you overcome negative vibes by drowning the vibes out. In a way, you acknowledge that the negative emotions are there, you let it stay but you choose to think up positive thoughts so that it can propel you forward DESPITE the negative emotions. This is what professionals call understanding of self, some call it empowerment. Some call it inner strength. Whatever name you give it, the idea behind it is to focus your energy on the good things in life.

Sigh that you have coffee in the morning. Smile that your kids are up and they are arguing in bed...ALREADY! Say 'thank you' that you have your morning paper. Revel in the fact that you have understanding clients or boss. And you choose not to let the rotten carton of milk bother you. The blown out bulb in the bathroom didn't kill you. The car that didn't start cannot faze you.

And that is simply because you have so much more to be thankful for than the handful of maladies that you should hardly cry over. You walk past them and choose to embrace the positive so that you can snub your nose at the bad news rolling by like RSS feeds in front of you. They are there but....SO WHAT?

Scroll past them like you do to SPAM tweets on your twitter update.
