Looking on the bright side of life (tell me what you think about this:)

We all have obstacles in life. You're so perfect if you didn't pass any obstacles in your life. The important is that even if problems of any case comes in your way, you know what to do and you have faith in GOD. Am I right? Well, many people especially us teen-agers really have problems regarding friends, family, "school", and many more. Looking at the bright side of life really helps us to face any challenges. We, people are living in a crazy world... but who knows? We may even have a very unforgettable and successful result after the problem have been solved! Well, if the problem's not... who knows? May be someday the pay may not be that much but may have an important reason of why that problem came into your life... or maybe... that problem is not "really" a problem but you're just the one who made things worse but really is a blessing for you!

GOD Bless! Tell me what you think?

Yes, but looking at the bright side of life makes people blind to the sufferings of the world. People tend to think only for themselves and this kind of mentality only increases our selfishness. People that look on the bright side of life don't want to be bothered with other's maladies; that would divert them from their goal to live in a "bright" world. And problems are necessary in early life; the prepare you for the real world. If you have a perfect childhood you're going to be disappointed when you leave your home. That's what I think.

i would think people looking on the brightside would want to reach out and show others how to do the same... thus decreasing their selfishness...

Life isn't perfect, obstacles are apart of life. I don't believe in God, I believe in myself, which
is more important. Don't be an extremist, people who look at only the bright side overlook
problems, but people who are negative forget what they truly have. Find a balance, pay
attention to the bad things, but don't forget what you have.

It's always nice to look on the bright side of life...but I like to look at in this manner. I know there are horrible things in this world - I have seen some of them in person. I don't pretend to live in a world that is perfect and I don't think for a second that I ever will. But every day I look around me and am thankful for what I have in my life. I consider this looking on the bright side of MY life. Knowing what I have that is good and what I could have that would be bad. It's appreciating the little things in life that help maked ones life brighter. You can have a postive attitude towards life while knowing and understanding that there are things out there that we cannot change in the imminent future. Yeah, it sucks, but if you let the whole world drag you down you are never going to have a life that you are going to consider worth living. I guess it all depends on what makes you feel like your life is complete.

agreed! Positive thinking about things is very healthy for you and also people around you, i mean how hard is it to just be happy all the time, why let stupid s*** bring you down? get threw it and start something new. your going to live the path that you where suppose to lead, just depends on how long it takes you to get there~!

i agree that a positive outlook is great,i am a "the glass is half full" type of person....

but when you are feeling down and problems seem insurmountable,it is very wise to take a look around at those who are worse off than you,and then re asses your situation.i am sure you will find that your problem is not,in most cases that bad.

I dont look on the brightside very offten

I think there is a time to be gratefull for what you have, i think thre is a time to enjoy the beauty of the world around you, I think there are also times you have to stop and look at the hardships in life both your own and everyone else's, living in a happy bubble is cool if you can get away with it but sometimes you need to look a bit beyond that. Besides you have to endure the rough to really appreciate the smooth.

I think that optimism offers an easier way to get through the day, and that people should take advantage of that more often. Some people find their happy facet through religion, habits, addictions, or anything else that they may. So everyone, raise a popsicle to optimism, and smile.

thanks!

if you only look on the bright side of life you ignore your problems and dont deal with them. and i dont believe in god.
