In my eyes, life is too short to focus on negative things. It is same as living by the Ocean and never learning how to swim. Just plain stupid, right?
So I was hiking The Narrows in Zion National Park last September when this photo was taken. It is clear that I was looking down at my wet and sore feet, thinking about how nice it would be to rest already after walking 10miles. Yup, my body ditched on me, and I was tired. That said, I could simply look up and see all the majestic nature which surrounded me for the whole time.
Same applies to negativity. I agree that were are always many things to be sad about. We never have enough money, power, love, or freedom. We always want more. And that is why we can always stay negative. What's the point? Well, there is no. However, it is much easier to live a simple life, blaming others for your unhappiness. Many people choose this path
I do choose to stay unhappy sometimes as well. That feeling just makes me freakishly happy.
That said, I control my unhappiness. I don't let it thrive. I keep it for a day or two and kill it before it kills me. This method keeps me balanced. And balance is always a good choice.
Sadly, many people choose negativity as their primary state of being. I find it superbly hard to spend time with negativity around me. I mean, with all the glorious stuff which is happening every day, someone still chooses to focus on shit?
It's like being sad because you single-handedly won a basketball game against World All-Star team by 50 points instead of 60.
Of course, you might be devastated because no one wanted to play that basketball game on your team... but still.
Also, negativity has this power to spread among people. It's like a powerful disease which you acquire just by looking at a permanently sad person. And I don't like diseases. I just don't, and that is why I choose to be positive.
And you know what? Despite your situation, you can always choose how to feel inside. No one, even the Gods, cannot control what happens inside of you. And whenever you walk on a negativity path, you just punish yourself for no particular reason. What's the solution?
