There Doesn't Always Need To Be A Push For Positivity

By Evan Sanders


It's not always possible to be positive.

Why? Because that's not really living an honest and balanced lifestyle. There is always a dose of negativity in our lives which balances out and helps us appreciate the good times.

Sometimes you're going to have to be dragged through hell in order to get to heaven. You have to be willing to get back on the horse day after day no matter how many times you fall down because you believe in something greater than the challenging times of life. A famous psychologist Carl Jung once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow." And this is very very true as we are going throughout life developing. As we grow we experience bigger challenges.

On the journey of self discovery, everyone is interested in making a mark in this world and adding value to other peoples lives. But in order to truly become the greatest individual we can, we must spend time exiting through the challenges of life.

For years I've been willing to pull a lesson or learning point out of even the worst situations to help provoke thought in others. But what I'd like to share with you is that I am not always positive. Actually I don't ever force myself to be because that only creates inauthenticity.

We all go through tough times and dark moments. We all suffer and we are all challenged by life. That is what makes each of us similar to one another. But if we can continue to put our hearts on the line and breathe into those challenges, we will always be ok.

So if you can, try to find something positive in the negative. But you don't have to fake that everything is okay and that you are okay. You don't have to pretend that everything is awesome and fun when it's not.

If we can express our emotions during these dark times, we are able to live an authentic life that truly makes an impact on others.

This is a real life. This is an honest life.
