Every behavior has a possible positive intention or impact.

Try seeing the best in people. Believe that they have some sort of positive intention behind their actions. If a co-worker is unusually nice to you, think, “What a great attitude!” rather than, “I wonder what they want?”

The positive intention might not always be conscious or even intentional. Perhaps this event is intended to be a learning experience. Perhaps this event happened so that you could help someone else grow and learn. Try to see the silver lining in life.

Transforming the way you see the world can also transform how you respond to people and react to situations. Who knows, it might just be infectious!
