Happiness leaves no scars, hence it is easy to forget.
The human mind finds meaning in problems and negativity. The moment you drive it towards positivity and happiness it throws the following words at you –
– You are foolish
– You are so innocent
– You are vulnerable
– You are weak
– You do not accept the reality…
It systematically challenges your positivity. And you fall into the trap and start acting otherwise.
Whenever these thoughts come in to bother you, reiterate and tell yourself
– I want to do my best no matter what
– I want to give unconditionally
– I want to forgive and let go
– I want to live fully and freely
– I am secure and no one can take advantage of me
Fight the battle with strength and soon the negative pattern will cease to exist paving the way for foolish optimism (as they call it). But don’t you think it is better than energy-draining pessimism?
