There’s too much crap in the world to add your own–at least that’s how I see it. If you’re not careful, all the negativity everyone spews out can get through you and bring you down. Smile–even in the face of something really ugly, there will always be something to feel good about. The laughter of friends, the stolen glance of your lover. Choose the people you spend time with: keep the good in and repel the bad. Negative people can suck the energy right out of you before you even know what’s happening. Open your eyes. The reasons to be happy are all around you.

You just have to be open-minded enough to see it.
