Two versions of the same picture, and both are free with no account and no watermark. The first has no background at all, which is the one to send your artist — but a phone or computer photo viewer set to dark will show black strokes on dark grey and it can look like nothing downloaded. If that happens, use the second one: identical characters on a plain white background. Either way you get the characters on their own — the square and the faint guide lines you see above are not in the file. Each character is 1000px, so a two-character download is 2000×1000, and the script and layout are the ones you picked.
Script
Characters
Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
A forward-leaning, constructive attitude — closer to being proactive in Chinese than to simply feeling upbeat.
Before you commit
Choose with care正 does not mean positive in the emotional sense; it means correct or upright. Asking for positivity and receiving 正 is a common mismatch.
Pairs well with積極 with 進取 for a driving attitude, 樂觀 with 開朗 for a sunny one.
Cultural note正能量, positive energy, is the popular phrase online, but it carries a faintly official, motivational-poster tone in Chinese that English positivity does not.
Meaning
Positive and proactive; energetic in attitude and action.
This is what a Chinese reader means by a positive attitude — engaged, not merely cheerful.

What to do next
Pick the script and layout you want above, download the PNG, and send that file to your artist. Ask them to work from the file rather than redrawing the character freehand — that is where strokes go missing.
