1. No, it means that when we're confronted with a CHOICE about how to view or handle an idea or a situation, we choose to be optimistic about it instead of pessimistic. Sometimes it takes an effort, but it's not a lie to dwell on the positive instead of the negative, it's a decision.

2. No its a practice that comes with time not only in one day ... basically in general you should think that things are going to be fine ...even when they are not fine just say things are going to be fine... its a therory ... once you truly believe in it. not lying to yourself ..things will go fine in your life... and do good deeds by keeping God in your mind...

3. Yes.

4. no it doesnt mean your lying to yourself it means that your choosing to be happy...because that is a choice you have..to be happy or miserable...this year alot of bad things happened for me.......my lights got turned off...then i lost my job.....then i was told i had to move from where i live..theres a place for my kids to go but nowhere for me to go and i was looking at the possiblity of sleeping in my truck...all this in a 3 month period..........perfect time for some well earned depression right?? well not for me...i thanked God for the things i did have.first we can live without electricity..i was upset for literally a minute then i just said ok it will work out......and it did my neighbor paid a 600 dollar light bill for me..yes i have to pay it back but the need was met...i still havent gotten a job i was turned down for unemployment and turned down for tanf(welfare) then when i was told i had to move i made sure my kids had a place to stay and was prepared to sleep in my truck...and was grateful to have that truck to lay my head down in...but at the last moment a friend offered to let me stay with him...ok so had i simply just let myself fall into despair i would have been miserable probably crying everyday making myself sick...making my kids worry and adding stress to the. too.........but instead i just kept reminding myself everything would be ok and while its not exactly how i wanted things to be everything is going to work out.........and saved myself alot of grief...this made more sense in my head lol
