Adrienne Bailon Spreads The Word About 'Positively Positive'

By Michael Lopez

In this stage of her life, Adrienne Bailon has a lot to feel upbeat about. She's scored hits with The Cheetah Girls, launched a solo singing career, and even has a famous Kardashian boyfriend. And, as she told Just Jared, she credits her success to her "positive" attitude.

Bailon recently spoke about the benefits of Positively Positive, an organization that accentuates peoples' strengths via encouragement and optimism. Stars like Shakira and Sie7e have all sung its praises and happily spread its mantra to their fans.

For Adrienne, the "positivity" stemmed from her time in grade school. As she explained in a recent clip, her mother played a big role in shaping her sunny outlook on life.

"Everybody has something that's great about them," she said. "Everybody has a strength. I was really good at storytelling, so my mom would say, 'What did you do in school today?' She would ask me to turn it into a story."

Bailon went on to say how she developed that storytelling technique and now incorporates it into her acting and song lyrics.
