I have been a very positive person, most of the situations that would have made others go mad with worry, would never effect me, In fact I would hardly spend few minutes dwelling on it. The reason is after years of practice i decided i will not waste any thoughts on things that would worry me and bring me down, and never ever to dwell on upsetting things, and I have my fair share of terrible circumstances, all that i do is i understand that i need to carry it to God so my head is cleared and during bad situations i wake up early and pray and i keep listening to good faith messages and after prayer i feel so strong and i feel that my God is so powerful that he can change my situation within no time. That way i remain very positive and very strong in God and that's exactly completely changes me into a positive person 

Praying for others is the biggest help one can do anyone, be it a friend a relative just about anyone prayer helps in invisible ways, you keep praying for someone and then one day you get to hear that god heard your prayers. What a blessing that would be. Make a list of everyone we know needs prayer, like some sickness, some need, job and when we pray we make that difference in someones life. I don't connect to anyone in my life, the way i connect to God.
