I've been struggling to have a positive attitude about this thing which I can not mention. I'm failing miserably and doing an even worse job of hiding it, I fear. Then I read this, and it pissed me off, which surprised me. After pondering my pissed offedness for a few minutes I realized the reason I felt that way is because I don't want to be positive about this thing which I can not mention. And I don't want to be positive about it because I'm afraid if I am I won't be motivated to change my situation.

Which leads me to this question - How do you stay motivated to make change in your life without being bogged down in negativity about the situation you wish to change? Is it even possible to achieve this? I'm asking you, because I really don't have the answers.
