Hmm random thoughts have accumulated in my head over the past couple months and now have decided that this would be an opportune moment to manifest themselves into a tangible existence. (My thoughts have a mind of their own…) In the on-going journey to maintain a positive outlook on life there are many twists and turns along the road. As a matter of fact, the older you get, it somehow gradually becomes a bit more difficult to maintain the same level of high-octane positivity that youth had once provided you with. Yet, I refuse to believe this concept that many others believe to be a truth. This negativity concept being something along the lines of: ”The older you get, the more truths you realize… thus realizing that being positive is simply being overly idealistic” DAMN! That is a dangerous concept to explore! I’ve definitely dabbled in this thought process recently and wondered to myself if this may possibly be the rude awakening or harsh realization that life brings upon everybody. It seems as though this is the mindset that plagues alot of individuals (especially for the age group that is recently out of college and re-evaluating life routes). Through the process of reality kicking in and growing up… it’s super easy to fall into a negative route of thinking. Everyone does it at some point. But the hard part is getting back out of there!!! And for some reason, it seems harder if you surround yourselves with negative individuals. Not at all to place the emphasis of blame on the individuals that surround you, but to moreso to recognize that you are getting increasingly more vulnerable to negative influences. The older you get, the more susceptible everyone becomes to these negative mindsets thus causing a chain reaction of negativity! Therefore you have to find your source of positivity within yourself. And be conscious of the great things that exist in our everyday life. Whatever situation you’re in, don’t forget to take a moment to be thankful for everything that surrounds you. Being thankful keeps you sane. If someone around you offers a negative perspective to a situation you’re in, you gotta make sure to counteract it with a positive thought. Yet, its definitely not so easy to always whip out a chunk of positivity at any moment’s notice. But that is the struggle that we are blessed with everyday… Yet, there is also an upside once you are able to dig out this chunk of positivity… pass it on! Holy crap a few positive words can totally transform someones day. Then once that person is feeling positive, they might positively affect another 3 people that day… and so on… thus creating a chain reaction of positivity!!!!! hahah So in a nutshell, I feel like this generation I am a part of has hit the checkpoint in life that includes scary realizations and drastic life changes. And that a cloud of negativity has preyed upon so many people… including me. The chain reaction of negativity is a monster that digs a deep hole extremely fast. BUT I believe that one of the solutions to this is that when you are feeling that surge of positivity - SPREAD that ish!!!!… you can never underestimate the power of positivity and its chain reaction… and to the negative forces around you… you have no choice but to throw positivity in that direction… and when you find someone with the same positive energy——- RECHARGE EACH OTHER LIKE CRAZY!!! hahahahah ok enough rambling. the most important thing is that God will always be able to recharge you with more than enough… you just have to remember to ask for it.
