You can’t change reality through sheer force of will alone, but you can use your brain to change how you process the world, and that in turn changes how you react to it.

Positivity (and happiness) is not about lying to ourselves, or turning blind eye to the negative, but about adjusting your brain so that you see the ways to rise above the circumstances.

Positivity is being realistic about the present while being optimistic and maximizing our potential for the future.
