Life is good!

It's the easiest thing in the world to focus on the doom and gloom of everything happening around you. It's what most people do, and it's easy to fall down a spiral of negativity when you feel like that's the only option. But of course, that is not the only option. We all have the opportunity to be optimistic and happy to be alive, but not everybody takes it. After all, it can be hard work to be happy even when it goes against your instincts. 

If you have to come up with ten statements of gratitude every day to be happy, that's not as difficult as you'd think! It takes about five minutes at most and can drastically boost your mood, helping you look on the positive side rather than dwell on the negative. It can also be beneficial to indulge in some entertainment that makes you happy in order to feel better about the state of the world. How can the world be such a bad place when it produces so many wonderful and hilarious memes? Riddle me that, negative Nancies of the world!

    Bill Chopik elonmusk really named his child after a wifi password Recently, a date said they were an INTJ (i.e., Myers Briggs). I told her, "I'm a PhD in psychology. I refuse to entertain some unscientific typology of personality with dubious scientific backing." I took pride in expressing my needs. As a Pisces, I really struggle with that.
