“I am one of those people who just can’t help getting a kick out of life – even when it’s a kick in the teeth.” – Polly AdlerThe truth is…Even if I write a blog that encourages people to stay positive,I find it hard to stay positive myself.Like it’s an everyday struggle.And sometimes, even if I tell myself that it’s going to be okay…My emotions won’t seem to listen.And the negative thoughts won’t seem to go away.
It is so much easier to stay positive when one is happy…When things are going the way one wants them to be.But when one is faced with problems…That’s where the challenge begins.Because it’s difficult to think of happy thoughts when one is hurting.
Yet I think…That the choice is still up to me…To stay positive or not…To look into the brighter side of things…Even if it’s hard.Even if it’s an everyday struggle.Because focusing on the negative consumes a lot of energy just the same.So I might as well channel my energy to one that will do me something good.
I think it makes sense.
