Positivity is a Steppingstone
Life happens one step at a time. Every instance of positivity is a steppingstone towards improvements.
In the middle of an ongoing pandemic; in the face of uncertainty on almost every imaginable level — we NEED positivity.
Every little bit counts. Why? Because even a moment of positivity can be a steppingstone to improve life.
I know that the notion of the power of “positive thinking” has been wildly abused over the years. When you mention this, or positivity for that matter, it conjures hack phrases. “ Just think positive and it’ll all be okay” and “ don’t be negative, only be positive “ and the like.
But let’s face it — shit happens. Sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed after a night of little to no sleep. The idea of ignoring and erasing negativity is utterly laughable.
Even with the best attitude and positioning — this is no less true. You can’t not have bad experiences. That’s the nature of life.
BUT — you can choose to soak in them, lament them, let them absorb you — or — you can decide to choose to release them. Let them go. Move on.
Even the tiniest bit of positivity is a steppingstone in that process.
