Positivity is Not Selfish, Is It?

Seeking positivity is not selfish, unless in doing so you deny others the same opportunities. Finding positivity finds more abundance for all.

Positivity is not selfish.

I recognize that in the face of the world today, and all the insanity nationally and internationally, seeking out positivity for yourself may seem like a selfish notion. With so many people facing adversity, cruelty, devastation, tangible and intangible bad things, doesn’t it make you selfish if you seek positivity and good things?

No, because there are limited things we can all do to help the world at large. We can march in protests, vote in elections, sign petitions, and take other actions to speak out against the bad things. But apart from that, nothing we do can or will change it.

However, we can change ourselves. Most of all, we can change our individual thoughts, feelings, and actions. When we work from this, we open ourselves up to having a greater impact than we realize.

Whether or not you believe in the Law of Attraction, or that consciousness creates reality, or whatever label we give to mindfulness, you are still empowered to control how you think, feel, and act. Seeing as positivity feels good, and negativity feels bad, why would seeking positivity be selfish?
