You need negativity even more than positivity. Sounds crazy? Then could you please hear me out? Negative thought show you the problems, obstacles and challenges that you may encounter along the way then you can accordingly plan do something about them. It's free improvement. This helps in decreasing the uncertainty of failure and increasing the certainty of success and that is awesome. Now what about positivity? Just use it as a source of inspiration to strengthen your commitment towards achieving your goals. Therefore, keep negativity more close than positivity. It will help you stay safe and successful in the long run. Now what about happiness. Just express your joy and love towards things as much as you can. Who is stopping you?

Everything in life is about balance... but it is HOW we balance it that changes everything :) The one always offers perspective on the other... they are both useful, but do not both need to be absorbed...
I believe it is way too easy to be negatve, mankind emphasizes fighting disease, solving problems and asking each other "whats wrong"
As @jaynie said it is balance as we have to recognise the negative to appreciate the positive, the two have to exist, just as day/night, good/evil etc.
The practice of positivity is indeed a practice and should be encouraged - which doesnt mean pretend bad things dont happen, simply acknowledging and feeling the emotion that rises but not dwell needlessly for extended periods because that then leads to suffering. By focusing on the negative the positive is hidden and I know where I would rather live from.
Love your work!
