Answer 4

I feel so much compassion for pessimistic / negative people.  I have been in your shoes, at least at some level and it is a dark place.  

I don't think pessimistic people have a hard time surviving at all.  I think one of their main goals is to find negative people like themselves, and or find people who can easily brought down to that level.  

In any case, I know now that I am 100% positive, that I found my happiness again.  And I love this place! I can't believe it took me so long to get here.  So, I feel bad for those who are stuck in that negative state, because there is so much happiness and wonderful feelings to experience when you are truly happy.  

I wish it was as easy as it sounds to turn a pessimistic person over to the positive side.  And the truth is, no one can do this for another.  You, yourself has to want to change and live a better life.  But I can point you in the direction that I took took.

The first step for me was when I read the book, The Secret.  It teaches the law of attraction, and how to get all that you want out of life.  So, I had to clean out that negativity and only use and say positive thoughts to myself.  This cannot change overnight. You must work at this everyday.  Once my negativity was gone, I found my happiness just sitting there gleaming as bright as ever. It was there all along just waiting for me to bring it out.
