0:00.0	This is Optimal Living Daily Episode 1565, focusing on the positives will make you a happier person
0:06.6	by Adi Redzick of AdiRedzick.com and I'm Justin Malik.
0:10.7	Happy Monday and welcome back to Optimal Living Daily or the OLD podcast where I read to you
0:15.3	from some of the best blogs I can find and get permission from, mostly covering personal
0:19.6	development and minimalism on this show. For now let's get right to it and start optimizing your life.
0:24.7	Focusing on the positives will make you a happier person by Adi Redzick of AdiRedzick.com.
0:37.0	Happy life consists not in asking what is wrong with us that needs to be improved but embracing
0:42.6	and appreciating all that is already good and there's plenty of it. Trusting that the goodness

1:29.4	like a failure. If we focus on all that is positive in our lives, it is inevitable that we will
1:34.9	attract more positivity and goodness. On the other hand, if we focus on all that isn't right in our
1:40.4	lives, we will soon grow to view just about everything as negative. Even the things that would
1:45.5	otherwise be most exciting will seem like a struggle. So how do we switch this perspective?
1:51.5	Number one, by looking at all the good stuff and by making a decision to keep looking at it,
1:56.8	appreciating it, being grateful for it and taking it all in even when it is challenging,
2:02.7	until we start believing it. After a while, even the biggest cynics start believing.
