Although I can see where Raj is coming from, I have to agree that a positive outlook is a choice, and in difficult circumstances we have to make that choice over and over. Because the alternative is to let our mood be negatively affected by circumsntaces and then that makes turning things around so much harder. A positve outlook doesn't guarantee instant and magical change, but it helps alot AND makes coping with the difficulties more manageable in the meantime. Great post!

However My sister has children and has been laid of for a few months now. I can see that she is starting to get depressed, it is unfortunately easier said than done during the hard times.

Good time to take control of your own destiny.

It is true that many people who are positive turns to have better life. Positive-driven people are often to see everything as a opportunity and they are not someone who are not sitting and waiting for luck. Your post is really inspiring and it also remind me to keep me positive. I really like about the idea to stay positive rather depressed.

I've had a similar experience some years ago, rather disappointed I wasn't part of those who experienced new opportunities outside :) It was really a learning experience, a mix of anger, sorrow, relief, exhaustion. In the end, what really matters is the way you respond. Bob - thanks for sharing this inspiring experience. I'd really like to be able to succeed like you did, and to be able to turn around something that seems to be negative into a wonderful opportunity for the taking :) Henrik – Nice post!

I used to see so many negative people around me growing up, it was hard to get out of that "circle" but when I did, a new world opend up to me. It is all about how you perceive and see changes in your life. You can resist and be miserable or go with the flow and have a great life. :)) Cody, I love your post!

A couple weeks back Time magazine had a cover story titled: "End of Excess: Why the current crisis is good for America!" I won't go into detail - you can sense the theme - but I did feel compelled to write the editor. By stepping up to the plate, I got a hit and it was published in the April 20 edition. "Yes, the crisis is a good thing. Having hit bottom, Americans have a solid foundation from which to leap upward. After I graduated from college in 1992, a car accident claimed my lower left leg. I chose full-time Paralympic competition in cycling and the Ironman triathlon for the next 15 years. Without the initial physical and emotional pain–followed by years of financial hardship–I wouldn’t now be enjoying a new career as a professional speaker. True contentment comes from applying a solid work ethic toward our passions, not from the wealth this also happens to create." Paul Martin, NATICK, MASS.
