@Liberty,
I think for some people #7 is really difficult to do especially when we have an overpowering negative emotion. When we’re angry, it can be difficult to calibrate our tone or choose words carefully, but I think knowing that we have the capacity to choose positivity is a great start!

@Nanay,
I see your point. But I think that most people are not evil monsters. We just have to remember that people like Dr. Paul Farmer exist.

Becoming positive needs cultivation, I think. It is truly difficult to be so when you see and hear news about people looking innocent but guilty of horrible things. Skepticism develops. Things and people are sometimes not what they appear to be. I need my FAITH to be more positive.

I like #6 & #7.
Life gets to be more exciting when one has dreams to pursue.

Hi Walter. I think it’s fine what theories and perspectives people choose to hold on to. It makes interactions all the more enriching.

I agree that life is all lessons.

I don’t happen to agree that the secret of life is to go with it as you say. A perfect example that comes to mind is Dr. Paul Farmer. I think that, like him, we have it in us to be extraordinary human beings but it will take many building blocks of “going against it” so to speak. Yes, there are many things that we can’t control and there are universal laws, but it’s what we do within the things we can control (freedom of choice) that can lead to greatness.

Thanks for stopping by and for offering a different perspective.

Dreams will always be a part of us, whether we pursue them of not. In this complicated world we are living there are many hindrances that prevents us from achieving our dreams. The problem is we label everything according to positive and negative. We don’t understand that this world has absolute laws and it will never succumb to our wills.

The secret of life is to go with it, not against it. If things don’t go according to our expectations we must not resists; rather, we must pick up the lessons it brings. There can never be peace in this world because order comes from chaos, just like our universe coming form the chaos of Big Bang.

We can achieve great things, only if we don’t allow our minds to find reasons for everything. Life is all lesson.

@Bob,
Thanks for the visit!
So true. Often, it comes down to your perspective. I like to think of negativity as a trap that you can actively avoid. Giving in to it is not a given and we really don’t need more of it.

@Tina,
Thanks for the props, girlfriend! Gotta love Ashley.

Hi,
I saw your comment on Stepcase Lifhack and decided to visit. I love this post! I agree that there is a world full of negativity so that is why I try my best to fill it with positive things as you suggest in this piece. Just on my computer I have 3 quotes that I look at every day. My favorite is
” When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
It certainly rings true to me every day. Good luck with the blog and I look forward to seeing more.
Best,
Bob
