Imagine this: a teacher shows her students a paper, and there's a tiny black dot in one corner. Now, most kids talk about that dot, but only one child looks at the rest of the paper and sees clouds and sunlight.

Guess what? Life can be a bit like that. We've got lots of good things happening, but we sometimes forget about them. Instead, we start searching for happiness like it's hidden somewhere.

Ever looked at someone who seems really happy? It's okay, we all do. But here's the thing: comparing ourselves to them isn't great for us.

You know, not everyone finds it easy to see the good stuff. But we can work on it.

When things don't go as planned, let's try to find something positive. Even from the not-so-great stuff, we can learn something good.

Imagine the paper again. This time, instead of staring at the black dot, look at the empty parts. See the space between the dots? That's like focusing on the good things.

Want to try something? Here's a small challenge:

1. Think about three things that didn't go the way you wanted, and made you feel a bit down.
2. Now, think about two good things related to those not-so-great things.
3. Before you sleep, remember one thing you learned from the day and how you can do better.
4. Do this for a week, and notice how it changes how you feel.

Remember, like that kid who saw clouds instead of the dot, we can also choose to focus on the good stuff. And that's a cool way to make life better.

Stay positive!
