Hard things happen. Every single day. Intentional positivity can help us live a more hopeful, joyful life, rather than being constantly weighed down by the weight of our world.

Living in a place of scarcity will never bring you to a place of abundance. Just as always focusing on the negative will never turn you into a positive person. But the goal is not to shove the other out or pretend it doesn't exist. 

By recognizing that with every negative thought, the positive opposite exists as well, and vice versa, we can begin to purposefully shift our lives to a more positive light. 🌟
