A negative outlook is a powerful possession. Having one, means life is 'all bad'. When the sun breaks through and shines joy into your life, you don't see it. You're too busy polishing your rain-gear, getting ready for the next storm. Negative living is a running commentary of every ache, every pain, every bump in the road, every cloud in the sky. The fruit of a good day is never picked and enjoyed. It withers on the vine while you wait for the next shoe to drop, the next trouble train to unload its cargo. Outlook, positive or negative, is a possession of choice. It is a reality of your own choosing. It affects the essence, the message, the meaning of your life. You either keep a running tally of your misfortunes or your blessings. Which one do you choose?
