The Silver Lining

I used to be the picture of that because I knew nothing else. Negative begets negative and I have no idea how to change it. I learned that there's a flip side to everything and I started to consciously think of how things could be worse then realize they aren't so bad. After practicing this over and over it became automatic. Suddenly good things began happening and I became amazed and thankful over and over. I tried to figure out what actually changed so I could ensure continuation of the positive and not slip back into the big black abyss. So it's crucial to steer clear of the negative and welcome the positive.
