When you're feeling positive and happy, you're less likely to notice the negative things, and will likely enjoy the positives even more.
As an example:
You're a positive thinker, and you're going to see your favourite band with your negative thinking friend. You're more likely to enjoy the show, as you'll be feeling good as a base line. You'll notice and remember how fun it was when the bassist did a two-step, and how the blue lighting made you feel wonderfully morose during the ballad. Your friend will notice that while the singer was good, the balance on the lead guitar was off, and they didn't play a favourite song. Both of you were right, the lighting was good and they really should have played that song, but one of you enjoyed the show more than the other because of perspective.
If you start out looking for the positives in things, you're more likely to find them, and if you're looking for the bad, you'll find those too. There's no science to it, it's just basic perspective. Things happen no matter what. It's just the way you see them.
