Motivating Yourself to be Better

The way we explain events in our lives has a huge impact on how well we cope with them.
Does our thinking tend to be positive or negative: is the glass always half full or half empty? Do we always worry about things we have no control over, or do we spend time on things we can control, like our thoughts, our values, or our goals? Do we remain optimistic about our future, or does our future outlook become dark and pessimistic?
There are always gray clouds in the sky, but we have to remember there is always a blue sky above these clouds. Seeing the exceptions to bad things happening is like allowing a little blue to poke through the gray skies.
