>>I choose to have a good attitude regardless of external circumstances. <<
Reminds me of the old medical pun,
"The operation was a success but the patient died".
"Balance" does not involve fixed adherence to positivity or negativity, but analysis of the situation.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
