  • Positivity.
  • "Optimism" is generally the word people use.
  • affirmativeness
  • Positivity would be the most evident, but there are also others: 1) positivity "Generally and unfortunately ‘positivity’ is not a term we hear often. Quite simply, it is the opposite of negativity – which in the workplace we tend to hear far too much! We use positivity as a framework for helping individuals and teams find out what matters to them, establish powerful goals, and clarify what actions are required to achieve success. Positivity also involves communicating effectively to create self-perpetuating motivation both within individuals and teams - and extending as far as the organisation as a whole. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that can create extraordinary results." Source: http://www.thebigquestion.co.uk/faqs.htm "The opposite of negativity is "positivity", or continually looking for positive solutions together. We can confront any difficulty or crisis easily when we work as a team. We go nowhere when we become opponents or competitors or when we blame or undermine each other." Source: http://www.inspiration2go.com/articles/friendship-3.php 2) complicity "In order to put some meat on the bones of her critique, Drucker puts forward the positive notion of ‘complicity', which runs through the book as the sweet and kind opposite of negativity. Complicity, if I understand it adequately, is to be defined in terms of collaboration: with the audience, with the media system, with the various institutions, and finally with society itself. Yet, complicity does not mean for Drucker lack of critical attitude. In a kind of permanent paradox which makes the book very difficult to judge, complicity is also seen as the positive way of practicing the critical function of real art. Thanks to complicity, art becomes less unworldly, it offers positive alternatives to current and stereotyped ways of seeing, and manages therefore us to achieve what ‘negativity' fails to do: to make us think in new and different ways."

Abundance is a way of thought, it is a way of life; it is a way of doing. It is the opposite of negativity, the opposite of scarcity. Abundance brings you a sense of fulfillment and joy and naturally lifts those around you. Abundance is an attitude that changes everything, everything from your first thought in the morning to the dreams you have at night. When you live a life of Abundance, your every breath is infused with a positive force that beneficially affects everyone around you” Source: http://www.speakermatch.com/showcase/speakerinfo.asp?id=332406668 4) creation: "Anyway, I'll call this a philosophy of creation because the opposite of negativity is creation. Is that true? I don't know, but I like it and for me, for this example, it works." Source: http://drivasblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/negation-versus-creation.html 5) hope: "It's human nature to be optimistic. It's human nature to hope. Furthermore, hope is a component of a healthy state of mind. Hope is the opposite of negativity. Negativity in life can lead to anger, disappointment and depression. After all, if the world is a negative place, what's the point of living in it? To be negative is to be anti-life." Source: http://www.strategicsector.com/reportcard2006.htm 6) contentment: "Living a simple, peaceful commonplace life must be a choice. A choice to see the adventure in the small things each day. To notice the way the flowers grow toward the sun, to watch the change of light throughout the day, to enjoy the uniqueness of people I meet throughout the day. Contentment is really the opposite of negativity. When I am critical and negative, I cannot find anything enjoyable about my day and the people in it, but when I choose contentment, I find that people are so beautiful and i find wonder." Source: http://grapesky.blogspot.com/2005/06/simplicity-1-state-of-being-simple.html 7) real positivity: "Negativity, that raining, dark cloud, floats over and turns off the sunlight. It makes it so that we can’t see things – it becomes a polarizing filter, raindrops on the windows of our souls. Soon we’re watching the drops run and race, and we’ve forgotten about butterflies or wild, velvety violets, or lovely Australian wine. Instead the rain is all we know. Our sorrow at being one with all of these becomes our sorrow at being alive. Real positivity isn’t the opposite of that. The opposite of that would be as delusional and contrived. Real positivity is not a filter. It’s an opening of ourselves, our souls, our eyes. We can see the sadness of the rain, but we know that won’t keep the sun from coming back, bringing its warm life, letting us dance." Source: http://lettingmebe.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
