When you think positively, your whole views change about the world and you tend to look on the better, clearer side. It may sound stupid but being resentful is what really renders positive thinking useless. When you let down your walls or hold out until they collapse really try to “focus on the positives in life.” The essence of life is not being perfect, impressing people, or succeeding at everything. The essence of life is simply making mistakes and learning from them, surrounding yourself with people that love you when you’re being yourself, and getting through the failures so that you can continue improving.
Change your mind. Look for your good features, think about the people that you know love you, confide in them and look at things on the greater side. Realize that nobody’s life is easy and that there will always be ups and downs, and moments of low self esteem. Don’t automatically assume that nobody cares. Every person matters to someone. You’re alive for a reason. There will be a tomorrow. There will be a next week. There will be a next month, things are bound to get better, things will change for the better. Think about all the good things you’ve experienced, felt, and achieved, and consider how many more good things could be waiting ahead. Let yourself enjoy life even if you’re not at the best place you could be. You only live once, make the best of it. <3
