Being a positive thinker is not about ignoring reality in favor of aspirational thoughts. It is more about taking a proactive approach to your life. Instead of feeling hopeless or overwhelmed, positive thinking allows you to tackle life's challenges by looking for effective ways to resolve conflict and come up with creative solutions to problems.

I'm writing my psych paper and doing mah thang, finding articles (basically choosing the one of the first of the five google finds that pop up),  Oh, hey, the source that keeps popping up, yeah, her name is Kendra Cherry.   I don't want to keep using her because my prof may be think, "Hah, Girl just used this source because she has the same name." (Okay, my teacher doesn't talk like that in real life.)  Either way, I should probably steer away from using Ms. Cherry too much anyway...because ya know, other references would probably be good to have too, huh?  Yeah, thought so.
