I am having an argument with my friend about whether it is good to think positive or to think negative. He thinks that thinking negatively prepares you for the worst, but I think thinking positive makes you happy!

it's one thing to think about some things in a negitive way and there is something else as when you focus on it!
accept the negitve and prepare but then look for some good
one thing i have notices when you think postive more good stuff comes your way!
and the same with negitive if you think so in so is going to step on a rock and trip and loose there teeth and still "Preparing for that" IT WILL HAPPEN
i.e. I hate tailgaters i was all about trying to avoid them i yelled at them even got a bumper sticker that says "I break for tailgators" i have a dented car so i put an arrow that says SEE
well i focued on this way to much EVERY DAY i was being tailgated well something happend and i forgot about tailgators and just started to not focus on it! guess what the tail gators stopped everyone once in a while i still get tailgated but i just assume that the jerk is in a hurry and really isn't worth my effort of flipping out! and being drama drama drama!
plus if you really want to be prepard just learn how to do CPR have a first aid kit and know how to use it! guess what your prepared!
mentally preparing try Meditation! it will help!

Thinking positive attracts positive things. Negative thoughts create negative things. Thoughts become things. What things do you wish to create in your life?

thinking positively releases positive feelings into the universe... i know this sounds silly but if you read "the secret" it explains that telling the universe what you want and by thinking about something positive you tell the universe what you want and therefore begin manifesting it... read the book or watch the movie, it is life changing :]

Always think positively because what you think about expands into reality...
