Encouragement – This word makes me feel positively happy because encouragement is all about building someone – or yourself – up. It is something we do to support each other. When someone takes the time to provide you with encouragement, it usually means on some level they care about you, and knowing that people care about you is bound to make anyone feel positively happy.

Eager – This word makes me feel positively happy because I am eager, and excited to see – and experience – all the things that life has to offer me. I used to be so scared of what was going to “happen next”. I knew whatever it was, it would be bad. Because I was always looking for something bad to happen, it usually did. I think my negative thinking clouded my ability to accurately perceive what was really going on, and no matter what the situation was, I could only see the negative in it. At this time in my life, I am no longer peeking around corners – waiting for the next bad thing to happen. I am eagerly anticipating all the good things that are in my future.

Experienced – This word makes me feel positively happy because I have experienced many hard – really hard – things, and I am still here. I know the knowledge I have gained from those experiences will help me when I have to face hard things in the future.
