Do not prematurely stop your thinking process.

If you happen to stop your thinking at a point when you believe that a situation or fact is negative, you have not done sufficient thinking about the matter.

Every fact or situation, no matter what, has two sides. There is always a silver lining or interpretation that results in a net benefit to others or yourself. There is no exception.

If you believe that a situation or fact is negative, there are still other perspectives (many of them positive) that you have left to explore and understand.

Don\’t be tricked by thought-stopping tactics or phrases common in our culture, continue your thinking and explore the full spectrum of perspectives, especially the positive perspectives.

Bottom line: if you are negative, you are not done thinking.
