How to stay positive in the face of negativity
Thanks to @PC56 for the idea!
1. Smile and stand up straight
Trick your brain into thinking you are feeling good
2. Be aware that you have nothing to lose
As Steve Jobs said: You are already naked. You are going to die. Soon.
3. There is nothing good or bad, just thinking makes it so.
A Shakespeare-quote, often used by Eckhart Tolle. Maybe it's true and everything is just a question of interpretation.
4. It doesn't matter how you feel
What you do is important. So you may as well feel good when things are bad.
5. That one quote by Voltaire...
I decided to be happy, because it is good for the health (or something like that)
6. It is a challenge
If it were easy, it wouldn't be a challenge. Maybe you will fail miserably – and face it like a hero.
7. A quote by Marcus Aurelius
Death smiles at us. All a man can do is smile back. From the movie "Gladiator".
8. Maybe things will turn out okay
They often do. That was my experience in seemingly hopeless situations.
9. The state of the world has always sucked
We can do our best and then be content with ourselves.
10. Think sex, drugs and rock n roll
Or romance, a glass of wine and piano concertos by Mozart
