Positively Lucky

I am a positive person.  That statement does not seem strange, and most people probably think the same thing about themselves.  It is strange to me.  I was never that person.  I was never a person to see a glass half full and if it just did happen to be half full, someone was bound to spill it.  I had a bad attitude and well, misery loves company.  I have tried to push everyone in my life away and have been quite successful at times.  Some of the most important people in my life, at some point, I swore I would never talk to again.  They stuck around or came back later... who knows why, but they did.  I say this a lot, but I am certain that I am one of the luckiest people alive.  However strange it may be though, it's not hard.  I chose to be a positive person.  I chose to live a happy life.  People suck and yes misery loves company, but guess what- misery ends up alone or surrounded by other miserable people(not fun).  I cannot control how people around me act.  I can, however, control how I let those people affect me.  I make a choice everyday to be happy(well ok, most days). I chose to fill my life with other positive people.  I become a better person by lifting others up.  I become better by inspiring people because they end up being an inspiration to me.  I just hope the people in my life feel half as lucky to be in my life, as I do theirs.
