Don't worry, Be Happy!

I think everyone suffers from pessimism. Even people that say they are not pessimistic suffer from it. Whenever something goes wrong, we think negative thoughts, like "it will never get better" or "now I have to deal with this before anything will get better, if it even will." Though many people can avoid this, it happens every once in a while.

People complain about the smallest things, "These shoes hurt really bad!" or "My parents grounded me, (grumble grumble)" or "I'm so hungry! I'm going to die!" First you have to think, whose fault are those things? Yours! If your shoes hurt, get new ones. If you are hungry, go eat! There's no point in starving yourself.

You see, no one likes a pessimist. Well, they might, but they can get annoyed easily by someone who always complains. (Do I sound like a hypocrite here? I'm sorry.) This is just one of the many reasons why it is so much better to be an optimist. People will like you better.

Another thing that should be tried, if you want to be a happy person, is to make other people happy. Smile at people and just be happy, even if you are not happy and you think your life sucks. But wait, if you are an optimist, then your life will not suck! There you go.

Happiness is good. If you think differently, then think harder, because you're wrong.
