# 11 Positivity

Positivity
My father used to have a picture of a Basset Hound (the saddest looking dog in the world) hanging in his office with the caption “Act enthusiastic and you’ll be enthusiastic.”  I’ve written before that Dad was the consummate positive thinker and I have benefited greatly from his example.

Acting positively isn’t a game or a trick.  It really works.  While I am not suggesting that you discount reality, I am suggesting that when we approach life with a positive attitude things generally work out better.  Be a “glass is half full” kind or person and be a positive force to those around you.
