The ability to be positive is one of the most useful skills you can ever have, and it's

To-infinitive

something I've personally been improving at a lot lately, so I want to teach you guys

This'll help you stay in a positive mood all the time or almost all the time, boost your

confidence and self worth, and start developing yourself and improving in ALL areas of your

I'm not gonna spend a lot of time hyping it up or giving motivational quotes - these are

gonna be SPECIFIC THINGS that you can actually start DOING right now.

#1 Any time you have a problem, either (1) solve it, or (2) get over it.

But I can't tell you how many times I've had a problem in my life and instead of solving

it or getting over it I just sat there complaining about it and getting really stressed out.

Of course, I'm not saying I NEVER complain about anything anymore, but I can honestly

You just want to catch yourself as fast as possible.

If you have a problem, maybe your TV broke, or a girl doesn't like you, or you don't know

what to do with your life, or whatever it is - either SOLVE IT, or GET OVER IT.

Option 3 - complain about it - is only for weak-minded people.

I'm gonna go on the internet and write a long ass essay complaining about it and telling

everyone how much Samsung FUCKING SUCKS!"

Yeah, you COULD do that, but stop and think ... how do you actually BENEFIT from acting

Solve it: buy a new TV, send it in for warranty, sell it on ebay as "slightly used," just watch

TV on your computer instead, realize you should probably be watching less TV anyway, or text

a girl and use it as a pickup line - "hey my TV broke and The Flash is on at 7, can

Come up with a list of possible solutions, either write em down or just do it in your

head, and then pick at least one, and do it.

If you don't know which one to pick, then just pick one and try it.

Or, if you don't like any of those solutions, then just get over it.

Just decide that you're over it and stop stressing out, and you'll find that you forget about

Now, there are some problems that are a lot bigger than this.

Maybe you just totaled your car that you spent years saving up for.

Come up with some solutions: start saving for a new car, look for a job that pays better,

start a business, ride a bike instead, carpool with a friend, learn how to time travel and

"But if I travel back in time and stop myself from totaling it, then I wouldn't have traveled

back in time in the first place because it wouldn't have been totaled, so it'll still

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but honestly, you're either gonna need to solve

Complaining won't do anything, and it'll just keep you in a negative state of mind for longer

This means not worrying about what other people think about you.

Stop spending your time taking selfies to post on Instagram, or coming up with clever

ways to phrase your Twitter bio, or wondering what outfit to wear to impress the random

people who will see you walking down the street.

And if they do, they probably aren't the kinds of people that YOU should care about anyway.

If you're on social media all day, either limit yourself to 15 minutes a day, or just

Do the stuff you want to do, and don't do the stuff you don't want to do.

Do you think ANYONE, in the history of time, has ever laid on their deathbed and thought

"damn, I really wish I had done more to impress all those random people I ran into during

If you're buying a cool new car, make sure you're ONLY buying it because you, yourself

Don't buy it because you're hoping to impress your neighbors, or the people at your gym.

They'll be impressed for like 10 minutes, and then they'll go back to their lives and

Living your life for other people is not only stupid but it's also completely pointless,

Stop playing the victim, and stop taking other peoples' words so seriously.

Most of the time people just talk without really thinking about what they're saying,

or they don't fully mean what they're saying and there's another motivation behind it,

like maybe they're just having a bad day.

So there's no reason to take everything so seriously.

Getting offended just shows that you're really insecure and that you care deeply about what

other people think of you, and that's a really negative mindset to have.

Also, stop worrying about what other people are doing, at all!

Like if you think someone's religion is stupid, who cares?

Stop wasting your time trying to explain it to them and just do your own thing instead!

You know that quote, "the best revenge is massive success"?
