		<description>Hi Jonathan,

Great insights, thank you for sharing!

I believe that positivity is the result of applied focus over a longer period of time. I actually wrote an article about this a while ago on my blog. If you&#039;re interested, look for the article called &#039;The Thoughts of The Optimist&#039; on bertmeert.com</description>

		<description>@ Robert: Definitely, we need to recognize our weaknesses as well as our strengths.

@ Evelyn: Accepting what is, is essentially to finding peace in our lives.  It doesn&#039;t mean we don&#039;t respond, we just stop reacting.

@ Shilpan: Great comments!  I like the way you say experience + belief = reality.  I think you&#039;ve cracked the code.

@ Jon Meade:  Oops, I&#039;ll change that right away sir.</description>

		<description>Hi Jonathan,

One of my favorite sayings is: &quot;Whatever you believe is true.&quot;  We truly are the powerful creators of our &quot;reality.&quot;

Blessings,
Andrea</description>

		<description>Hi Jonathan,

Great blog. I believe that reality is total sum of stereotype that we cumulate over the time + belief.

Experience + Belief = Reality.

For positivity, one needs to develop inner conscious to balance experience and his/her own belief system towards positivity.

		<description>Great essay. It is intriguing to me that some of positivity and positive psych has its roots in transcendantalism and early American metaphysics. As well, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been strongly influenced by positivity.</description>

		<description>Hi Jonathan, I like the tip on what-is and choosing a positive response. Sometimes, it is hard to accept things for what it is right now; our minds gravitate towards the past or fear of what lies ahead. We need to learn to see the nature of things in their current state, and move on with a more positive attitude. 

Thanks for sharing,
Evelyn</description>

		<description>Hi Jonathan, your message on win/win is I find very important, we can integrate the good and bad of ourselves. When we befriend our weaker self, we will strengthen them!

Thanks for the great post,
Robert</description>
