Being Positive in the Midst of Pessimism
We grow up in a traditional culture, limited by the mindset of our peers, colleagues, friends, politicians and ancestors. We become adults only experiencing one way of living, only knowing one way of thinking. There is a lot of anger, hatred and ignorance in the world and it can be argued that the collective psychology of the human population is chronically depressed, but in the same moment, there is also a lot of goodwill and happiness taking place. We are in the midst of a conscious evolution and learning that if we do not change our destructive ways, we, the human population, will become extinct. Carry on with our current path and we will destroy the very earth that provides for us. It is a do or die scenario. It is essential that we change our living habits and thought patterns to be more peaceful and self sustaining.
It is a massive burden upon us, but every single one of us is capable of making a difference. The challenge we face on a day to day level though, is that from the mainstream news media to the mindless gossip of friends and colleagues, we are constantly surrounded by dramatic, fear inducing news and drama. The general population has such dull and boring lives that they crave and welcome excitement and stimulation in whatever form available, yet ironically every healthy human being has a deep desire to be happy and so are energetically attracted to positive, happy people.
It is difficult to be happy and positive while in the midst of pessimism, anger and fear. Difficult but not impossible. It is simply a matter of being aware and choosing to walk a different path.
Be strong and have the courage to be different and positive about life. When others are gossiping and backstabbing, refuse to participate in the brain dead conversation and instead use it as an opportunity infuse some of your positivity into the dialogue. They may look at you strangely to begin with, but when you speak with confidence and certainty and they can see the excitement and passion in your eyes, then they will stop what they are doing and pay attention to you. You will be planting seeds into their fertile minds and the very fact that you are not blindly entraining to their level of thought will be so unusual to the general majority of people, that they will see it as “breath of fresh air” and welcomed reprieve from the stress and hardship which is their life. They will be attracted to your positive energy, and human nature being like it is, once they see you being positive and happy, they will also feel empowered to act and speak in the same fashion.
So come on – be a leader and role model. Do your part for making this world happier and healthier place for us all to live in because we all deserve to experience the best of life. There are no excuses.
