Faith is not about seeing two possible perspectives, and choosing the one that is more positive. That is just positive thinking, or even blind faith.
Faith is seeing two possible perspectives, and realizing that one is false and the other is true. It comes to that realization in the fullness of the love and the presence of God, and recognizing that the reality must be consistent with the personality of God and what He has already accomplished. It is the realization that reality is full of freedom, peace and joy, and that any other shadow of reality always puts us in some kind of bondage. It is not even about choosing, because it is impossible for our spirit to choose something that is false after realizing what the truth is. Revelation of the truth always sets us free.
