Whichever way you see it, today’s world is shrouded in negativity. All the religions say it, all the scientists say it, and even the common man can observe it. Everyone around is angrier, more impatient, and is constantly brooding about some depressing thought. Happiness is extracted by laughing at another’s misfortune. Fun is obtained by seeing someone fail. So the little positivity that is left is actually being born from negativity itself. Then there is the ever-impending thought of the world coming to an end towards the end of this year. Why has this theory gained so much popularity? Is it because all of use are dying to die? Do we just want this life filled with negativity to end, so that we can be at peace? This is truly a disturbing reality.
Optimism is not dead yet. And it never will be, as long as there is at least a small group of optimists alive in this world. Just as a lie doesn’t become true if a million people say it, likewise negativity won’t become permanent just because more than three-fourths of the world is filled with it. A simple phrase - Be Positive - can save your life. But the question is, are you willing to live? Life is chalk full of problems. There wouldn’t be any excitement in it otherwise. Even the saints who go to the Himalayas to meditate have seen and experienced many problems in life before eventually retiring to the mountains.
So why is it that being positive is so hard? That’s because being negative is quite easy. If there’s an interview and you are not quite confident of bagging the job, it’s easier to think I’m not going to get this job rather than assuring yourself that youcan, and will get the job. If your plan doesn’t always work the way it is meant to, it’s easy to assume the worst instead of figuring out a plan-B. But such an attitude isn’t going to make you happy, nor will it bring you peace. Being positive at all times is the only way your life is going to be much happier than what it already is. But how exactly do you start being positive? It’s not going to happen in a single day, is it?! You need to take one step at a time. Start small. Keep reading to know more!
