I try to think positive but it doesn't always happen that way.

It's so easy to think negative. The mind is a very powerful thing, even if you are having a bad day and you try to think of positive thoughts/memories it will brighten up your day. I always think positive, sometimes I am walking and I will start laughing or smiling unconsciously and consciously just b/c what I am thinking of is good. People will come up to me and say "are you ever unhappy or sad because you are always smiling," and my response to them is sure but I do not let that get me down or get in my way and I do not believe in taking out my problems or stress on others. It is better to be know for being happy than being a grinch. As I say I learn and grow from the bad, sad, and unhappy moments and situations in my life, but the good, really good and great memories I keep as my secret pleasures and treasures to reminsce on, so that is why I am always smiling and happy, plus life is GREAT!
p.s. To the people who says the thoughts could/can be neutral, it is possible but even if you are evaluating a situation/movie or whatever you are still either happy about it or not so happy; maybe going to see the movie tonight with a bf/gf will be either good/bad either way our thought will kind of distinguish it that way, or maybe we will be nervous good/bad, embrassed ect..

No, not necessarily. I could be learning something, or evaluating a situation, or appreciating a painting or meal or movie. In any of these, I might not necessarily be thinking positive or negative. People are capable of so much more than just this or that. If you try to pigeonhole them into just one state or another, you'll be wrong most of the time, and you'll miss out on a lot of life yourself if you think you have to view life that way, too.

yes it is true. There are only two thoughts that exist. Negative or positive. I don't think there is anything that's called neutral here?
