I was recently inspired by the example of someone who has somehow made a living out of looking on the bright side. The Youtube channel CinemaWins was almost certainly created as a response to the popular channel CinemaSins, which criticizes movies for the sake of humor. CinemaWins, in contrast, praises deserving movies and finds the positive aspects of even less-than-stellar films.
The way this Youtube channel focuses on staying positive reminds me that I should do the same. Sure, nothing is perfect, but nothing is perfectly terrible either. There is some good in most things, if not in everything. They say that every cloud has a silver lining, and I think that may be true. Certainly, there are many things bad enough to be worth avoiding, but even many of those have some good in them.
This world isn't all black and white. Just about everything that is good still has room for improvement, and just about everything that is bad still has some positive qualities. It may not be worthwhile to look for the good in certain things, but it's certainly worthwhile to look for the good in people, to recognize it, and to draw attention to it and show appreciation for it. Besides, looking on the bright side is, in general, a happier way to live. I plan to take the CinemaWins approach of looking on the bright side more often.
