There are a lot of things you have to do in life that you don't necessarily want to do, but I have learned that you will only make it worse if you go into it with a bad attitude. Over the past few years, a lot of instances have occured where I have had to do something I didn't want to. The end result didn't have to be as bad as my feeling going into it though. Rather than going into things with a bad attitude, I have learned to go into things open minded and positive.

All the time spent dwelling on reasons not to have fun and enjoy myself, could have been used more productively on other topics. Since I made an effort to go into everything more positive, I have enjoyed and done a lot more things that I thought I ever would have. Instead of passing up opportunities to do things I normally wouldn't have done, I have participated in them, and gone into them with positive thoughts.

When going into things like this, it is rare not to find something I liked about it. And even if it wasn't something I liked, I usually enjoyed myself with the people around me. Too many people seem to focus on the negative of everything instead of looking on the bright side of things. The more time spent on the dark side, the harder it is to get into the light and have fun.
