Be positive, stay strong! Well, I am tired of hearing this positivity lecture from myself and others. So, there are low times, lean times and terrible times. Trying to find solutions through all this is called life or surviving or living. Better than saying to someone who has come to you with a problem, be positive, you could say 'have patience' or this shall pass too. Nothing is permanent, is it?
I have good friends. We all do. Friends who will always have a solution which they think will help you tackle your problems. Friends who will hear you out and say, be positive, all is well! They are doing their duty. Many times, these words from my friends have helped me pull through situations. But looking back at the bleakest days, I have pulled it through alone. Not by thinking or living in the pink cloud of positivity, but by living through the muck and problems that have been there. When your account is empty and you still have days left in the month to go, saying all is well is not enough. How can it? Your account is empty and you do not have anything to scrape by. Tried saying all is well while staring at the emptiness of the account balance, did not work. So, what did?
It was asking for help and tapping the overdue loans to people. If I had not seen the problem eye to eye and just believed all is well and stuff, I would have ended up broke on the streets or something.
All I want to emphasize is that positive statements and positivity work, but you have to call a spade, a spade. Calling it a spoon of gold will be hallucination and you better see the shrink then.
