Some Habits of Super Positive People

Life is full of positive experiences．Notice them．Notice the sun warming your skin, the small child learning to walk, and the smiling faces around you．Smell the rain, and feel the wind．Live your life to the fullest potential by enjoying the beauty of these experiences, and letting them inspire you to be the most positive version of YOU．  

Living a positive life is all about creating positive habits to help you focus on what truly matters. This is the secret of super positive people．Here are some simple ideas to help you follow in their footsteps．

61．              

Life's too wonderful to waste time with people who don't treat you right．So surround yourself with people who make you happy and make you smile．People who help you up when you're down．People who would never take advantage of you．People who genuinely care．They are the ones worth keeping in your life．Everyone else is just passing through．

62．              

     Your life isn't perfect, but it does have perfect moments．Don't let the little things get you down．You've got plenty of reasons to look up at the sky and say, "Thank you, I will do my best to make this a great day．" So slow down and pause for a moment to stand in awe of（敬畏） the fact that you are alive, and that you have the ability to rediscover life as the miracle it has always been．

63．              

It doesn't have to be January 1^st to give yourself a chance to make good use of your life．Every day is a new day to learn, grow, develop your strengths, heal yourself from past regrets, and move forward．Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself, to adjust who you are, and build on the lessons you have learned．It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life．Using today wisely will always help you create a more positive tomorrow．

64．                

       It's the most positive, stress-free way to live, because the truth always reveals itself eventually anyway．So don't aim to be impressive, aim to be true．Those who are true are truly impressive．Being true means having integrity; and integrity is doing the right thing even when you know nobody is watching．

65．               

Today, give someone one of your smiles．It might be the only sunshine they see all day．Sometimes just a single genuine smile or praise can lift a person's spirits to new heights．At the right time, a kind word from a stranger, or unexpected encouragement from a friend, can make all the difference in the world．Kindness is free, but it's priceless．And as you know, what goes around comes around．

We found out that Jenny was suffering hearing loss when she was four and a half years old. Several operations and speech classes later, when she was seven, we found out that Jenny had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis(幼年类风湿性关节炎).

She could not put pressure on the heels of her feet, so she walked on tiptoe(踮着脚), and when the pain became unbearable, I carried her. Jenny was fortunate, though, because she did not suffer the deformities(畸形), often associated with JRA.

All through grade school, and on into high school, Jenny suffered, yet never complained. She took her medicine, and I would often wrap her feet in steaming towels, and hold her until the pain eased. But, as soon as she could stand the pain, Jenny, immediately, carried on, as though she were pain-free.

She wore a smile on her face, a song on her lips, and a love and acceptance of others. That was simply amazing. She ran, when she could run. She played when she could play, and she danced when she could dance. And, when she could do none of these things, she took her medicine, and she waited until she could.

Jenny, a beautiful girl with warm brown eyes, was never a cheerleader. She never competed in a sport. She joined the band. She won a place in the Govemor’s School for the Arts; yet, no one in the Charleston, South Carolina School System knew what to do with Jenny. The perimeters(围墙)were, simply, not in place to deal with a student, who was both active and disabled. Jenny continued to have one operation after another on her ears, all through school. Her hearing improved to 60%, and she taught herself to read lips.

At school she was popular, attending every football game to cheer the team on. She carried her pillow everywhere she went, so that she could reduce the pain when she sat down. Then came her senior year in high school. She liked school activities, especially sports. So she began to bombard the school football coach. Finally the coach gave in, with the warning,“If you miss ONE game, you’re out!”So, Jenny became Manager of Garrett High School Football Team.

She carried big buckets of water to her teammates. She bandaged knees and ankles before every game. She gave inspiring talks and it turned out to be one of the best years for Garrett High School football Team in its history. When asked why he thought that the team was winning all their games, one team member Jack explained, “Well, when you’ve been knocked down, and you can’t seem to move, you look up and see Jenny Lewis, walking across the field, dragging her buckets and carrying her pillow. It makes anything the rest of us may suffer seem pretty unimportant.”

At the Senior Awards ceremony, Jenny received a number of scholarships to College of Charleston. Her favorite scholarship, however, was a small one from the Charleston Women’s Club. The President of the Women’s Club listed Jenny’s achievements, starting with her grades, and ending with an excited,“…and the first girl to letter(赢得佩戴校名首字母标志的荣誉)in football, in Garrett High School history!”
