If you are a person who sees most things as beautiful in life, most likely you’re a positive person. If you’re a person who only picks out all that’s ugly, improper, incomplete, etc, etc, then you know what you are.
I know of people who complain endlessly, about everything, and I too, know of people who makes me feel happy just being with them.
Life itself is hard enough, don’t add on your burden OR your “perceived” burden onto others. Life will be more meaningful and fun if we see the good & funny sides in them.
I am not saying we should ignore what is not right, but highlight only if you plan to do something about changing it. If you can’t or if you don’t intend to, then let it be.
How to be a positive person
Be mindful of what you say at all time. Know that you have a choice. You can either do something to change it rather than just complain for the sake of complaining, and not doing anything to improvise the situation.
If it isn’t good, let it die. If it doesn’t die, make it good. – Ajahn Chah

When we are in the midst of chaos, let go of the need to control it. Be awash in it, experience it in that moment, try not to control the outcome but deal with the flow as it comes – Leo Babauta.
Look at all the good things in life and be grateful that you are able to appreciate them. Play a game of spotting the fun things or the funny side in everything that you see out there.
Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the life boats – Voltaire
Compare yourself to someone who is less fortunate than you. And decide what you can do today to make a difference.
