Do you have to focus on the good to truly be a positive person?

I believe you have to focus on what is good to do good.

I was watching a world vision ad and a black guy said he was one of the happiest people on earth because he had the joy of helping others, and I thought:

He was not focused on the misery of children at the orphanage, he was focused on the joy of knowing his life was influencing others for the better.

So he was focused on what is good, while trying to do good in the world.

Because you cannot do good, while focusing on what is bad.

You must focus on what is good, to do good.

If you focus on people's flaws when trying to help them, and not on there needs, potential, value, or good intentions; Nor are you focused on the pleasure of knowing you are helping another human being get better, then you will do more harm then good.

Because you have to focus on what is good to do what is good.

It's a choice no focus you either become it or you don't and I guess if you can't then I guess you would have to focus if that's what you really want but it should just come natural
