Some Habits of Super Positive People
Life is full of positive experiences．Notice them．Notice the sun warming your skin, the small child learning to walk, and the smiling faces around you．Smell the rain, and feel the wind．Live your life to the fullest potential by enjoying the beauty of these experiences, and letting them inspire you to be the most positive version of YOU．
Living a positive life is all about creating positive habits to help you focus on what truly matters. This is the secret of super positive people．Here are some simple ideas to help you follow in their footsteps．
61．
Life's too wonderful to waste time with people who don't treat you right．So surround yourself with people who make you happy and make you smile．People who help you up when you're down．People who would never take advantage of you．People who genuinely care．They are the ones worth keeping in your life．Everyone else is just passing through．
62．
Your life isn't perfect, but it does have perfect moments．Don't let the little things get you down．You've got plenty of reasons to look up at the sky and say, "Thank you, I will do my best to make this a great day．" So slow down and pause for a moment to stand in awe of（敬畏） the fact that you are alive, and that you have the ability to rediscover life as the miracle it has always been．
63．
It doesn't have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make good use of your life．Every day is a new day to learn, grow, develop your strengths, heal yourself from past regrets, and move forward．Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself, to adjust who you are, and build on the lessons you have learned．It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life．Using today wisely will always help you create a more positive tomorrow．
64．
It's the most positive, stress-free way to live, because the truth always reveals itself eventually anyway．So don't aim to be impressive, aim to be true．Those who are true are truly impressive．Being true means having integrity; and integrity is doing the right thing even when you know nobody is watching．
65．
Today, give someone one of your smiles．It might be the only sunshine they see all day．Sometimes just a single genuine smile or praise can lift a person's spirits to new heights．At the right time, a kind word from a stranger, or unexpected encouragement from a friend, can make all the difference in the world．Kindness is free, but it's priceless．And as you know, what goes around comes around．

The whole morning we just checked our own things. We were looking for items to give away. We thought of blankets, food and clothing. Our aim was not to find things we no longer wanted, but things we use every day and would be useful to others.
We made up boxes with the things and added some small toys. Inside the boxes a simple letter was placed, reading:
“Please take these items and know that your life is important. Times are difficult but they will pass. We share what we have, believing it will matter. Use the blanket to stay warm. Be safe and know that the human spirit can overcome（战胜） anything. Don’t hold your head down. Someday please do the same when you can. How you do it and when, your heart will tell you.
This kind act was not because the phone rang or for any reason. It was simply because it was the right time to do. We have often seen homeless people at the park where we left the belongings. The city would say that it isn’t a problem but I see the lives walking to and from it.
I noticed that my wife had put her favorite green coat into one of the boxes. I asked if she was sure about it and she simply replied that it had a hood (风帽). She liked the coat but knew the hood could shelter (遮挡)someone from the rain.
We don’t know where these gifts of compassion（同情）will go. We never go back and see what happens. It’s unimportant. The right things will find the right people and that is all that counts. On the way my wife started to cry. When I asked why, she said because some things felt so right.
