The Benefits of Having a Positive Attitude

A person with a negative attitude would view everything in life as a "win-lose" proposition, without any thought to finding happiness or the betterment of other people, himself or herself. A positive attitude is not about thinking positive thoughts but being positive and believing that there will be good in the future.
