Little Things- Finding a Positive Perspective towards Life

You have two choices- become a cynic or see the brighter side of everything. The first comes with its own share of burdens in your life. If you are ready to accept and embrace it genuinely, then we are with you. But why is it always important to take the hard road? You can look for happiness, a lovely future, pure Love, and a better world in a fine little ways.

Be observant

To find positivity in every aspect of life, this is the number one rule. You have got to be the person who observes more. Look out for changing patterns, colors, clouds, leaves, someone’s smile, behavior. Feel the taste of the food, a person’s touch, smell that smoked pizza. This helps in being in the present too- the Power of Now.

For example- If you see a beggar on the road smiling away, think about how it might have happened and how these things make for a lovely life in a bigger picture. An elderly may give you blessings because you just helped him/her get down from the bus only because you observed and understood them. Observation works tremendously, even if it is a tiny ant walking on the table- it is a living being, just like you. And if you appreciate that life, it is a beautiful positive outlook you imbibe.

Practice vulnerability

Do you know the power of being vulnerable? It is a process of being emotionally independent. These changes make way for a new beginning. The powers to become open and discuss topics you rarely do, makes you appreciate this gift of life. Expressionism is not given much heed because you either think no one will understand or they may become offensive.

Being vulnerable is not an act of being weak. It is an act of Self-help in little ways. But being vulnerable also doesn’t mean pitying yourself, playing blame games. It’s about open-mindedness regarding small and big things in life.

Two sides of the story

This comes with the ability to rationalize every situation. Positivity will grow on you once you stop judging someone or something. Emotional Intelligence is when you try to see all sides of the story and not just one. This helps you appreciate life. It is a step towards the common good, spiritual growth, among others toexplore. If you judge yourself and others in a certain way, think again.

Choose to see the good side (this doesn’t mean ignore the dark ones). Read real-life books that will help you appreciate life no matter how gruesome it may seem.

Where is the Love?

There is a song called “Where’s the Love” by Black Eyed Peas. It has profound lyrics about the deprived state of the world. The words concentrated on death, children, asking questions about the abysmal world, killings, and terrorism, discrimination, justice, and corruption. At one point, the lyrics even tell you to take control of the mind in the world of change and insanity all around. It talks about the real side of the world- the media, racism, money, etc. Why are we talking about the song? It’s because the lyrics still apply for today.

Can being “Positive” feel Forced?

We are in a world where there is a lot of negativity. Staying positive is the new trend. As much as it sounds good, sometimes it may feel forced. The very pressure of staying positive becomes a bit much when it isn’t like that in their real world. There is this one gift of life where one should feel just as they do, instead of what others want them to. What is forced or toxic positivity? Forced positivity is the thought that people dealing with a disease need to continually portray themselves in an optimistic mood or light, and that thinking “on the bright side” will help with the hurt. This is awfully common on social media where people are anticipated to only show the good side of their lives. The term 'toxic positivity' refers to the idea that focusing on the alleged positive emotions and reject anything that may activate negative emotions is the right way to live a life. The pressured feeling This kind of feeli...
