To me, it's an unknown subject; something that I thought had and will elude me for most of my life.
The older I get I'm wondering that it's not a status to achieve, but more of a state of mind to realize...
I found this Kevin Hart Video from the JRE talking about how he's naturally a positive guy. Being naturally negative, there was a point in time where I thought he was talking another language and probably would have hated him for talking such BS.
Now, knowing that part of life is learning and applying not only what I've learned, but lessons that other's may have learned (even if it's contrary to what you may believe or have known). What intrigues me is he seems so genuine in this feeling. You can tell because there is peace with him. He's talked like this before, and with his past, he's had a hard life so he knows what it's like to go through tough things.
Not like the major % of BS fake people in daily life, while at work, on social media or what have you. People who say something because it sounds nice or proper and want attention from people when they talk but words or actions you can tell they don't believe it. Like this former co-worker talking about being all about working on yourself, then bitching that others have what she doesn't. The miserable religious people that quote the bible but blatantly act against it, as examples. I wonder if they are miserable because They deep down don't really believe what they say, or do believe, but know they don't practice what they preach, or are just fucking stupid.
One thing I know by experience, negativity may be my way but it's not the way to be. I know since it's uncomfortable since I know things can be better. But I'm happy because if life is a balance, I know great negativity can bring great positivity... It's not a rule, but the possibility is there (for the most part). I guess my point is you can appreciate the good times more intensely when you have bad times to compare it to, then you can if you are just always having good times...
Anyway, my goal is to work on using my negative experiences to be more positive. I know negativity for the person feeling it can eat them up and destroy them and can be so toxic for others that people don't want to deal with you (who wants to deal with a whiny bitch all the time). That's something I need to remind myself of and work on...
Curious to hear how others deal. Are you usually happy, sad, indifferent, angry, None of which can be bad if you are satisfied (I knew someone always angry and complaining who hated people but loved him/herself, which is OK). Being positive more often than not is a new language I'm trying to learn.
