The theme of this sermon centers on the idea that maintaining a positive mindset and spirit is vital for a healthy life. So many people reject positivity, but all they are doing is destroying themselves. One of the biggest enemies to positivity is cynicism. Cynicism is addictive in so many ways, and while it can even be a contributor to humor, a life full of cynicism only decays the spirit and slowly pushes out happiness and joy (even when it is constantly used for humor). Maintaining a positive spirit is not always easy, and this is understandable, but not trying to be positive will ultimately lead to self-destruction.
