I‘m currently reading Arveson’s “A Short Course on Spectral Theory”Arveson’s “A Short Course on Spectral Theory”, and I’m stuck at Exercise 3.1 (1). The question is:

Let $l^{\infty}(\mathbb{N})$ be the set of all bounded sequences of complex numbers. A Banach limit is a linear functional $\Lambda : l^{\infty}(\mathbb{N}) \to \mathbb{C}$ which satisfies $|| \Lambda ||=\Lambda((1,1,\ldots))=1$, and $\Lambda (Ta) = \Lambda(a)$ for any $a\in l^{\infty}(\mathbb{N})$, where $T$ denotes the left shift operator.

Prove that every Banach limit $\Lambda$ is a positive linear functional in the sense that $$ \forall n \ a_n\geq 0 \implies \Lambda(\{a_n\}_n) \geq 0 $$

I have no idea to prove it. Would you please give me some hints?
