The secret to life is convincing yourself that everything is A OK!

I try not to lie to myself, and that also means not lying to myself about the bad things.

We tend to think that positivity is some kind of a sham but negativity can be too. Don't delude yourself, and that also means recognizing when your self-esteem is bordering on self-sabotage.

I think that leads to a... if not optimistic, then genuinely upbeat view of things.

I try finding the tiny shreds of good on everything. Works until it doesn’t. Sometimes the reality is just too much to ignore any longer.
So, yes, that’s pretty accurate.

Or that it will be OK. Be positive and don't dwell on the negative.
