I was in a very bad mood recently, and that fact almost spoiled my brother's attempt to cheer me up. Thankfully, once I realized that my negative attitude was causing me to interpret my brother's story negatively, I was able to make a conscious effort to do the opposite. I consciously chose to look for ways to find the story funny rather than depressing, and it actually worked. I deliberately saw the good in the story, and it actually cheered me up, whereas it had nearly done the opposite.
In life, we encounter many experiences, most of which can be considered good or bad, uplifting or deflating, depending on how we look at them. Let's choose to look at them with positive attitudes and make a conscious decision to enjoy life.
