Your mate doesn't live by bread alone; he or she needs to be 'buttered up' from time to time.

Husbands and wives, first, be faithful to each other. Second, keep the romance going all of your life by courting each other every day.

Winners evaluate themselves in a positive manner and look for their strengths as they work to overcome weaknesses.

Will what I am about to do, bring me closer to, or take me further from my goals?

Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince the person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise.

Be helpful. When you see a person without a smile, give him one of yours. ~

I wouldn't say 'most' people are prone to negativity. I think it's probably that most people allow negativity to color their thinking, depending on circumstances, but I also believe most people make the necessary efforts to return to positive thinking as quickly as possible.
