Being positive takes effort, we choose to be positive. Even when faced with darkness positive people find their way out. Even positive people search for answers and dig deep to feel fulfilled in a time of hopelessness. No matter how positive you are, you will deal with darkness. So why don't we like to express this side of ourselves?
Reading magazines, flipping through channels on T.V., and walking through Boarders book store we are bombarded with "Be Your Best Self at Any Age", "21 Days to a Better You", "Loose that Weight and get That Date", and "Say Yes to the Dress". All these messages about when you are happier life is easier, better, secure always, and fun. While all those things are true, it is not guaranteed! It's no wonder everyone wants to pretend to be positive. It's attractive, alluring, and also misleading!
No one is happy all the time. Good things do come to an end. People do change and while it may be for the better it does not always feel like it is. Family issues will appear no matter how LOVING and support you strive to be. There are not always answers to our problems. Just because you LOVE what you do for a living does not mean you always want to do it. I say that to say enough already! If people would really LOVE who they are and be happy instead of putting on a mask than the life they pretend to have would be real!
The aim is to try to be positive at all times. Maybe what you're perceiving as pretense is simply just that, maybe.
ReplyDeleteThe aim is to be positive Patrice, but not fake! Most of us suffer, but we don't talk about that. We talk about flowers and sunshine. I want what's real! I know I am in the minority LOL, but this is what I feel in my heart. I used to feel gulity when I am having a bad mood lol. Why? When everyone has a bad mood?!
