The theory of positivity
Aino was writing about her battle to find positive thoughts in a world where it is easy to become plagued by negative ones. I, as well as many of you, have surely felt this way too many times to count. Over the last few years, I have found that thinking positively is truly a valuable and necessary tool for happiness and success.
It isn’t easy, this business of positive thinking. It takes a concerted effort, and it is changing a habit, which as we all know can be daunting. However, once you begin to see the silver lining in EVERY situation that exists, then it becomes easier. It can be difficult, but I always try to find the ONE positive in a the most terrible of situations. This has made thinking positively about myself easier when the time comes.
I am a big believer in “if you don’t like your situation, then do something about it.” I used to live with a roommate that bitched about EVERYTHING, but when they were things she could do something about, she never did it. Therefore, I became a do-er. If I don’t like it, I make steps to change it. I might not be successful at first, and I might have to try it a few different times, but ultimately, I have been able to make myself happy by finding a way.I feel this way about the smallest little issues like not liking your couch’s position in the living room, to larger things like being unhappy in a relationship or a job. You ALWAYS have a choice. Yes, it might be difficult, and it might be harder at first, but you always, always have a choice in life. You just have to make it.
