Life does hand us enough troubles and cares each day. Meeting every day with something positive and some hope gives us a bridge. People who are positive-minded are people you enjoy being with.

The Bible encourages positive thoughts. Paul says to focus on things that are true and noble (Philippians 4:8). Jesus said to seek first the Kingdom and not to fret and worry about tomorrow (Matthew 6:33-34). The hoped for thing may be far away, but the hope in our hearts is near—and that nearness gives us a frame of mind to do things. We think better, we act better and we are better when we are positive-minded.
