Sometimes, it's good to remind ourselves that there are folks who are both incredibly successful and who give every evidence of being positive people who understand that other people matter. Joe Mauer, all-star

Beyond that, notice those around you who are positive and engaged, be mindful so as not to take them for granted, and maybe work to move yourself toward more engagement and positivity!
