How to stay positive in such a negative world? Just stay positive! That is all that it takes. It is a choice. Choose it. Live it. Explore it. Savor it. Share it. And be ready to harvest positives ONLY.

Staying positive is a state of mind. It begins with a decision. Then, internalize. Overfill your heart, soul, and mind of positive thoughts. The results will be actions and reactions which are all positive and beneficial to you. The people around you may benefit too or miss the whole thing depending on their respective 'charge'.

Here are quick easy ways to stay positive.

1. Think, act, speak only Positives- There is no other way to remain positive than thinking, acting and speaking only the positives. Filter your thoughts. Use only words in the affirmative side. Rephrase your thoughts and sentences in such a way that the finished form is in the positive. Instead of saying "I don't want to be sad", it would be more beneficial to think and say "I am happy to be happy as always". Repeat this mantra over and over again until it will become the only remaining truth in you.

2. Love yourself - Positivity can only be a gift of true love, that pure love that was given to us by One who made the universe. Once you know how to love yourself, positivity comes out naturally.

3. Surround yourself and linger with Positive people - enforcing one another to greater heights ahead. Misery begets misery while positivity begets positivity. Choose the latter and be happy.

4. Meditate on the desired positive outcome - Take time off everyday to meditate on the positive things that you desire for. Seek a stronger spiritual connection to the Supreme Being who shall reinforce and recharge you with the positive energy you need.

5. Be grateful always - A grateful heart prepares the self to receive even greater things to come. Gratefulness in spirit for good things to come facilitates the immediate realization of ideal situation and order of things.

There is so much to benefit from these words of wisdom. Remember that you are made up of materials that are the same as the stars in heaven. You are special. Also, there are about 1000 billion stars in the universe and each person living right now can have as much as 200 stars individually. The resources of the universe are ours for the taking. Dump negativity and begin to reap the benefits of staying positive... NOW!
