Being positive isn't all smiles and laughs.

It’s not about pretending

that the bad things don’t happen.

It’s a choice.

A decision to notice the little sparks,

the small wins,

the moments that could slip by if you shut your eyes.

It’s the courage to see the silver in the clouds,

to keep going when your own shadow gets too big,

to believe that not everything is meant to break you.

Positive refuses to let pain write the whole story.

It whispers: keep moving, keep seeing, keep trying.

How often do you pause

to find a little light in your day,

even when it feels like the dark's winning?
