It is better to think positive than dwell on negative thoughts.

Lailah Gifty Akita
About This Quote

We all have bad days. Even the nicest, most positive people have days where they just don’t feel like smiling. We all wish for a life without stress or problems, but that isn’t always possible. Sometimes it is better to dwell on the negative than to think about things in a completely positive manner.

Negative thoughts are usually focused on what could go wrong in the future. Positive thoughts are focused on what could go right.
