Writer's Block: Always looking on the bright side (A pessimist's view)
Always look on the bright side.
Step 1: Identify something positive about the situation - no matter how small. (eg. My cat just got run over by a car = Save money on pet food.)
Step 2: Pretend that it in any way makes it better.
Step 3: Start believing it actually makes a difference, without actually noticing you actually believe it.
Step 4: Realise that you are now incapable of NOT seeing the positive - even when your life is covered in shite and letting go of that positive is the only way you can finally admit how bad things are get the help you need.
Step 5: Die of old age. (Or commit suicide. I'm not an advocate of suicide however, so the bright side of this step is that there's always the chance that you will get run over by a car like your cat.)
It's the sure-fire way to getting a positive attitude that really sticks!
