Nope. It can have a positive connotation as well: "I was going to go to the park, but it rained. So, I ended up going to a movie with a friend instead. We had a great time." OR "I studied all night and ended up with an A on the final exam!" Although it often has a negative connotation, it depends on the context of the sentence/intended meaning. As you cans see, both examples began negatively and "end up" was used to offset that and usher in the positive side. In other words, it is used to show contrast, like "however." Contrast, by nature, has a negative connotation. However, the denotative meaning is not necessarily negative. You could go around posting positive examples of its usage in forums, comments, etc. throughout the internet. It might end up having a more positive connotations then :) Hope that helps!
