Q: How do you stay positive in your life? (that's kind of an general question so you don't have to answer privately) :)

I try to look at the good side on everything and if something negative happens, then I believe that it is meant to happen. The world has a funny way of working like that, for instance, I have a friend whose dad worked in the twin towers and had a business meeting on 9/11 there. However, she made him late to work by taking a long time to get ready. Of course he was very upset and believed he would be fired, but if he would have been at that business meeting he would have died. That’s why I believe everything happens for a reason, it may be hard to know exactly why, but without bad things happening, how would one know to differentiate and appreciate the good things?
