There is no place for negativity in your life, thoughts, or spirit. You have to willingly 'look on the bright side of everything'. You owe this much to yourself. Your well-being is important. I know we like to help others but we are in no shape to help others when we aren't whole. Positivity will get you through hard times. You know what? Don't even think (or if you can't help it, correct yourself) in negative terms. Instead of 'I hope my car doesn't break down today' you should say 'I appreciate the fact that I am able to do what I need to do everyday'. No worries, no problems. Our mindset is often our biggest obstacle. So why let something that you control be a detriment to you? You don't have to... just change it.
Praying and wishing to be delivered out of a difficult situation is getting us nowhere. You should instead be praying for the strength, wisdom, and courage to make it through that difficult situation. Most times the only way to get over something is to go through it and that's where a lesson should be learned. My mom used to always say the most important lessons are always the hardest to learn and often they culminate from the most difficult of situations. So face it, life is not easy for anyone nor was it meant to be.
As I said before it will be uncomfortable and hard but with enough practice it will become something that you do without even thinking about it. TRY IT! What do you have to lose except for stress/mess? Get it, got it, great.
Inhale positivity, exhale peace.
The thing I don't like this is that you're just flat out telling people to change their ways. People don't really work like that.
ReplyDeleteYou also may have denounced faith in that one sentence "Praying and wishing to be delivered out of a difficult situation is getting us nowhere." I know you went on to save yourself, but my inner athiest was jumping up and down.
But I do agree that you need to face difficulties to learn about life. It's why I work my minimum wage cashier job. I look at money now and go, I worked however many hours to earn this. It's a nice life lesson.
Also, your last sentence reminded me that a lot of people try to do this, but rely on drugs and alcohol to help them obtain this mindset. It's more of a "I don't care about anything" feeling actually. Just thought I'd mention it
First and foremost thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.
DeleteI don't really expect people to just change overnight but people do have the ability to change their ways. Complacency in a disruptive or harmful lifestyle due to the belief that people can't change their ways is by no means a reason to continue being a negative person. It takes time and I will never deny that. Now that I'm reading over the post it does seem as though the change should be immediate, I apologize. You won't make that change overnight and if you genuinely do then you are one spectacular being. It took me years to become the person that I am and I'm still working on it.
Thanks again :)
