I've had a lot of shitty things that I've had to deal with in life (most that honestly I've brought upon myself). I stay positive by simply making a conscious decision to not let shit bother me as best as possible. I trust that all things work for the greater good, and I try to limit my worrying, especially about things I cannot directly effect.
The fact that I try to meditate each night and focus on the events of that day, processing each moment and asking myself what I could do better helps too.

I'm negative and pessimistic to a fault, but i'm trying to change, if ever slowly. I had to have someone in my life i value more than myself to open my eyes, and to show me how it impacts my life.
I don't enjoy being this way, and that's what makes me want to change. I don't want the negative cycle to repeat once i have kids.
I'm up and down, chemical imbalances suck. Some morning i just grumble when i wake up, then i have days like today where i just burst with positivity.
But i never give up, i will always fight!

And for people here who think their lives suck: Someone always has it worse then you. If you have a computer and access to the internet you're obviously not doing too bad. There's people out there in the world that have NOTHING. They eat dirt.
so true.
also it's about choice. because obstacles will always come, and we're generally wired to reaction in an irrational way to them: by getting angry, sad, and generally dramatic. so it's hard to look at a situation and make the decision to not do what you always do, to create new thought patterns and positive habits in place of the old negative ones.
it's basically why i do what i do. and i am living proof that it works! i used to be addicted to my
you don't necessarily have to do yoga, but some form of practice, that you can do on a daily basis that stills your mind. it can be anything really. walking, biking, hiking, running, meditating, etc.
