"They asked me to write something cool, positive and full of life", I clank my keyboard and ponder aimlessly. To me and a very few people that know me, what's been requested is a complete oxymoron to begin with.
I finally decide to do this, yet for all ungodly reasons my taste for irony kicks in. If you ask me why life is to be seen as a bedrock of positivity, I'd say, it's twofold (slightly inclined to hypocrisy), if you shall get the sarcasm 😉
You trust, hope, work and get a lesson from it when you fail (that's how a mind in the stage of mindful acceptance takes it)
(or)
You trust, hope, work and win, focusing more on the result. (to me this is either too blunt or in most cases, vain)
I've always preferred to bask in the former, that's because you never stop learning, equipping and molding yourself into a better individual and that's what positivity is about. Eventually you get better. Here, what matters isn't the goal, but those entirely ten different ways that focus on how it's achieved. Some may fail halfway and some successfully walk the ramp like a supermodel.
So, the key is Knowing, differentiating, analysing them. If you understand the cycle of life, You subconsciously plan better ideas and pitch them to reach your goal. When you fail, you reinvent. That is where your positivity lies. You should know by now that it greatly matters to survival. Tougher the hurdle, or the failure, bigger the learning and that's what a keenly receptive MIND needs.
Lame and cumbersome as it sounds, that's exactly how lives function. Inherently, we're all embracing it with a hint of humor and sarcasm as years pass, mindfully as we mature, and that's positivity. Any kind of mindless hope, faith and love will only rot to shame, guilt and fear. So acceptance and change are the swords we must use to slay our inner demons.
Any change is change for the better, they say, and it's the most powerful quote I've ever fed my brain with. It imparts intuitive lessons yet for us to retrieve them at the right moment to curb ourselves from any fatal errors that we are to make, is never easy. By the time, we understand the due process, our life will have reached another phase for us to start afresh, and that's what survival or living thru the process itself is.
There's nothing extraordinary about success if the focus is largely on the result. And sometimes, I'd use this as a comfortable excuse to bury all my absurd failures, while giving in to my inner demons miserably erring in all the aforementioned reasoning.
If you're in there too.. I'd flagwave you with a "Welcome to the Downward Spiral club" but the purpose of this so called piece of "Positive" writing 😉 would be lost altogether.
As a final note : Just stay happy, do what you like, be badass, stay mindful and remember, you're not in this world to please anyone, so kill your codependency and live for yourself.
The advantage of being an unamused introvert ( sometimes immersed in pedestrian musings )- trying to see what's positive in a negative stance, and maybe that's the "cloudy oxymoron" we're talking about, if you know what I mean 😉
PS: I was trying not to smirk the entire time I was writing this 😁
