A fake smile

Be positive even when you don't feel like it

Negativity is the absolute worst thing that can enter your life

It's as simple as smiling

Just smile and you'll feel instantly better

Don't let negativity bring you down

Be happy, think positive thoughts

Be how you usually are, encourage yourself as well as others 

Keep going, keep playing, keep fighting

No matter how mad, no matter how tired, no matter how broken down

Just smile

Because there's no positive in being negative
