RE: Positive and negative

in Reflectionslast year

My Idol Galen. Love the title and the picture of the battery since the battery has a positive and negative charge. Just like how in life us humans can choose to give off positive or negative vibes.

I truly believe if people avoid the negatives they tend to be generally happier whether this be themselves or other people. We have to surround ourselves with people that have positive energy. We only have one life our mood can't be negative all the time. I mean it's ok to have the occasional grieving when we lose somebody special in our life but that's part of the life cycle. We have to accept that and continue with a positive outlook.

It's truly amazing how there are people despite all the struggles they have had in their life, that they are still positive and happy and want to continue living their life to the fullest. I saw a guy with no legs doing pulls up and bench presses on america's got talent. This guy is truly an example of being positive and giving positive vibes. Meanwhile we have negative people that have a better life and better situation it really makes me disgusted sometimes how there are people like this that aren't grateful for what they have but oh well it's their choice.

Here's the video incase you're interested. Truly inspiring~

I used the battery image for exactly that reason. ✅

Constantly dwelling on negatives will hold a person there and those that don't, or so I have found, are those who don't want to do the work to move themselves forwards from it. Where they are feels comfortable as they don't need to strive, to work hard and there's no chance of more failure of they don't try in the first place. Of course, there's always those with legitimate mental health issues, but many people could move away from negatity if only they didn't wear it like a comfortable coat.

And then there are those who have ownership, self-responsibility and who find the courage and put in the hard work like the guy you mention.

I'm not saying it's easy, I'm sure that bloke went through tough times and had to dig deep, but staying in place, embracing the negativity and making it the reason a person doesn't move forward seems wasteful of life to me.

Ya there are people that dwell on the negatives but sometimes it's hard like you mention here with the mental issues especially depression. I think it's a bit hard to recover from depression without outside help. Even myself I had a time when I was depressed and did some stupid stuff like run away from home. Now that I look back it was really dumb but sometimes it's really hard to move on from that negative feeling as well. People sometimes get lost along the way and they really do need help from others to help them get back on track.

Like this guy because he got pushed to be better by the adopted mother. I think things would be totally different if he didn't meet her or get adopted by her. So I believe a part of it is the willingness to not only move on from it but to get help from others to get out of that zone but I could be wrong.

No worries I get what you mean. I agree with you here as well. We have to accept reality sometimes and move on and do what we can to live the best life we can. We can't really control things outside of our own life so we gotta do the best to look at the factors we can control and one such factor is our mood and feeling

Indeed it is, but the person experiencing the depression needs to do most of the work, no one can do that for them. Like you say, "the willingness to not only move on from it but to get help from others."

We have to accept reality sometimes

We should be accepting of it all the time I think, meaning that we should acknowledge and accept that what is happening is happening, that way we can add some input and influence it. Living in denial isn't going to be much of a life.

Exactly, it's in their hands but us as outsiders should also be there whey they reach out. That's usually what we can only do

Yes yes maybe i shouldn't have used the word sometimes oops. What you said is what I actually wanted to lean more towards.

I think I got what you meant but was just commenting to clarify I guess; I know it's sometimes/often difficult to put into words exactly what we're thinking. It's all good.

Exactly you are on point with this. It used to be worse but it's slowly getting better since I've been writing on hive

It's a great way to learn, never be afraid to write and always be open to asking questions about it if you're unsure of anything, that's the best way to learn.
