This morning, thanks to social media, I was chatting to a friend of mine. Discussing about all the problems we face as a generation of boom and bust economy , I mentioned to her feeling low and letting all the negativity seeping in through the cracks of life experiences.Career stagnation, teenage blues and aging parents along with all the pieces of broken dreams mocking at you, now starting to show on our faces.
Growing old is not about aging , it is all about having fun and finding joy in spite of challenges faced. Some people have easier life , some tougher, but in the end it all melts down to how you treat the undesirable incidents and people in your life. Do you let the muck stick to you, or do you wash it away with love for self and others? Whether we like it or not, we are born with certain personalities. It is easier for some to be positive, while others have to learn it along the way and like we all know it is not easy to go against the flow.
PAINS is what I am trying to learn. I am great with the positive attitude when the journey is smooth, but also very susceptible to the negative incidents around me. Maybe it has something to with being sensitive or something to do with being self-centered.
So here I am trying to take my friend's advice and learning to practice Positive Thinking In Negative Situations -PAINS.
POSITIVE ACTION IN NEGATIVE SITUATIONS -- P.A.I.N.S
ReplyDeleteDifficult, but then, life is never easy. Positive ACTIONS help you to forget the negativity in your life.
I honestly believe for something positive to genuinely enter your life, you need have to resolve whatever is bringing it down. Masking sadness with smile and "all is well" suits people around us, but is definitely not healthy for the person involved.
