It's a little difficult not talk about something without mentioning the Covid-19 infection that is spreading worldwide. But nothing is ever so bleak, especially if we know nothing about it.
"People are afraid of things they don't understand"
This quote is commonly heard and we can apply it to the things we're currently going through. There are solutions to all the problems. But to get to those solutions, we need to remain positive.
By doing so, we should think clearly. We can surf through the obstacles to find different way to get there where we want to go. It's just matter of thinking out of box. But in most cases, it takes only tossing aside the pathological complaining trait we sometimes shelter.
Bringing one example, we remember recently how Trump confronted a journalist because he is positive on implementing a drug as a cure.
There's nothing bad in being positive. On the contrary, as I said, it just moves us to keep going. Things cannot be stopped and remain the same. We have to improve in every way. And all begins in mind.
Hive Community
The same can be applied to the hive platform. I don't imagine the guys behind it saying "we're gonna get this out though we have no good hopes." That's a no-no.
Whenever we embark on something, we go with the predisposition to do something good. We sense it, hold on that feeling. Without it, the chances of success are minimal.
It would be too unproductive to diminish any feeling of being optimistic. Because when you already have strong bases, in this case a strong community, you just move on to the next level. In other words, you evolve, and keep doing so in order to get the best of it.
Teachers would say that it's a constant process of learning that benefits all the elements involved. But whatever you want to call it, the important aspect is to harness on growing bit by bit.
Bet positive as a community
This is gold. How many times have we heard the phrase:
"Never lose hope"
Or
"Have faith"
I must admit that most of the time they sound empty without substance. And nature of it is because we somehow turn those phrases into mere motivational sayings with no foundations. But it solid concepts when we take action.
That's the key: take action. How many people do it?
Very few I would say. That's reason why hope never turns into a reality. We just dream on, wishing good things coming, but they won't come by their own. We have to make it happen.
Be positive as individuals
If we all don't take action as a society or community, we just have to take action as free individuals with custom skills and capacities. We are all born with certain abilities that must be put into practice. It would be a sin against ourselves if we don't do it.
But somehow fear interferes. It sometimes paralyzes us and don't make us move on. And ironically, this fear stems from society itself and people around us. We recongnize it, but instead of throwing it away, we grasp it and keep it inside.
If we dare to look beyond that fear, we can realize that the potential we have. But just shaking our mentality and adopting new concepts, positive being one of those, we can at least get the engines running. And as we go along, by being positive and never quit, we can find any solutions to the inconveniences we may encounter.
