Preaching positivity

"Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose."
Starting off a blog post with a quote, is probably one of the top ten most cliché things to do on this planet. That, and taking pictures of your food (especially a Starbucks). So, for that I apologise profusely.
Anyway, in light of this quote, I wanted to talk to you about the very important matter of positivity.  
What is that, you say?
Well, probably since I was able to talk, I could confidently tell you that the glass was always going to be half empty. Which ultimately meant that as I was growing up, I couldn't help but look at the things a little negatively. 
This wasn't the easiest thing to deal with, as I was always putting way too much pressure on myself, and whatever I did, never seemed to be good enough.
Now this kind of attitude, when taken in small doses, can be healthy; it shows you want to strive for more. However, when you're stuck with it 24/7, it drains the world of its colour, and suddenly you're left living in black and white. 
I wanted this to change, so I opened up my windows and let some light in (cheesy level:off the charts). 
Every night, before going to bed, just remind yourself of three good things that happened today. Be it, someone giving you a compliment, or ticking something of you to do list, or even eating your favorite food. 
I try to do this, and stick with it, because it really does put a (sometimes massive, toothy) grin on my face. Also, if anything, I've learned to appreciate the little things in life; they've shown me that even on the worst of days, there's always going to be something positive to smile about (queue the "aaawws"). 
So, this brings me back to my quote: yesterday, for me symbolises all the troubles of my past-which I don't need to meddle with anymore. Tomorrow, I need to look at with a clear mind. Tomorrow, I'm going to appreciate the little things people do for me. Tomorrow, I'm going to try my hardest not to put too much pressure on myself. Tomorrow, I'm going to be more positive. Tomorrow, I'm going to win. 
Okay, now that I'm done being a soppy git, I just wanted to let you know that, sometimes life doesn't make being positive easy. Trust me, I get that. 
But, I'm not asking you to run around, singing about how much you love life (that would be funny to see though). I'm just asking you breathe, and know that everything will be okay, because "if it's not okay, then it's not the end" (two quotes in one post, I'm the epitome of being cliché).
