Whether it&#8217;s with a girl who dumped you, a relationship gone astray, or just one of those dating draughts we go through, we tend to see those times as the glass-half-empty.&nbsp; The good news is, The &quot;bad news&quot;, if viewed through optimistic eyes, can truly be seen as good news.<\/p>\n<p>My good friend Steve, for example, went years without a girl.&nbsp; It was a shock, because before he <em>always&nbsp;<\/em>had someone&#8211;usually a hot foreign girl.&nbsp; In fact, the hottest girl he had been with, who asked him to live in Eastern Europe with her, for free, he dumped for greener pastures.&nbsp; But those hot girls he expected to come across, never came.&nbsp; And when he went crawling back to his East European girl, it was too late.&nbsp; She was with someone else.&nbsp; He instantly regretted it, and became&nbsp;miserable&#8211;so miserable and grumpy, in fact, that we had a big fight and didn&#8217;t talk to each other for over a year.&nbsp; On top of that, he was forced to live with his mother, which drove him crazy, and the only&nbsp;person who hadn&#8217;t been turned off by Steve&#8217;s negative attitude was this girl Lisa, who always had dramas of her own.<\/p>\n<p>Now, viewed through pessimistic eyes, some pretty rotten things happened to Steve.&nbsp; No girls, fight with best friend, had to live with his mom, and miserable friend to hang around.&nbsp; What good could possibly come out of this?&nbsp; It seemed like everything was lost.<\/p>\n<p>But a funny thing happened to Steve.&nbsp; He changed his attitude.&nbsp; He started to see the positives in life; he didn&#8217;t look at what he lost, but what he gained.&nbsp; Sure enough he started to re-gain his friends&#8211;and make new ones.&nbsp; In fact, because of the events that happened through all his negative experiences, he was led to some really fantastic people&#8211;including his current girlfriend, Alex.&nbsp; He&#8217;s actually grateful that the negative experiences he dealt with happened, because it allowed him to grow and become attractive to Alex, who herself is a very positive person.&nbsp; Instead of LOOKING for girls,&nbsp;Steve accepted whatever came his way.&nbsp; As you know from &quot;How to Be Irresistible to Women&quot;, the more you expect good things to come your way&#8230;the less chance you have of getting them.&nbsp; But when <em>you <\/em>stop looking, women <em>start <\/em>looking.&nbsp; Sure enough, when Steve least expected it, his dream girl came his way.&nbsp; No surprise,&nbsp;Alex was drawn by Steve&#8217;s energy and positive outlook.&nbsp; This girl was <em>much <\/em>better than his previous girlfriend; in fact, he always talks about how glad he is that he <em>did <\/em>dump her, because if he hadn&#8217;t he would have never met his girlfriend; he&#8217;d probably be miserable, and single,&nbsp;in Eastern Europe&nbsp;now.&nbsp; Instead, a better thing happened: Steve and Alex instantly clicked, and now they&#8217;re talking about getting married.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So remember, always see the positive side in things.&nbsp; Not only will it make you a better person to be around, but you&#8217;ll also be able to deal with the things in life that come your way.&nbsp; The so-called &quot;bad news&quot; that Steve was dealt, allowed him to grow and meet the woman of his dreams.&nbsp; As Winston Churchill, ever an optimist, once said, &quot;A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s hard to see the positive side of things gone bad.&nbsp;
