"today i will start blogging" is what i have been telling my self months ago, however with all that was going on, college et al & then with the final exams approaching, i never really got down to it. And now that the intellectual torture (exams) have ended, being blissfully unemployed (i use the term blissfuly bcos after a long gap i have finally got a BREAK), a tourist in my own house (& im loving it), it struck me once again. So here i am, writting my first blog. TODAY!!
On this little on going holiday that i am on, i spend most of my time doing, well, NOTHING and truth be told i dont even feel guilty about it. Other than the regular, i dont do anything extraordinary or what is expected of me (enrolling for short courses to improve my skill, for skill i believe, will improve on the job).
Now while i enjoy meeting up with friends and each time look forward to the next meeting, I have realised a very common, growing concern. And though it may not sound like 'concern' to some (assuming they consider it a view point/approach), the ability to stay or be positive is not common an ability but something for which training sessions have to be conducted at the office place or speakers delivering lengthy presentations to get the flock inot believing that POSITIVITY is a POSITIVE ATTRIBUTE which can ultimately help you achieve POSITIVE RESULTS.
"POSITIVITY" i guess is a state of mind where you analyse everything like a rational human being and after doing so, inspite of knowing the odds and evens, you choose to go with the evens. For eg. a glass half filled with water can either be looked at as half full or half empty, the choice is yours. Those who choose half full are probably more positive in their approach rather than those who choose half empty.
The benefits of being positive are not uncommon and are emphasised on a regular basis, but even then, sometimes even the most positive person may not be so positive afterall (considering that we are all human beings at the end of the day-sometimes, just sometimes that positive feeling lets us down.) But we should always bear in mind that what gets us down should be reason enough for us to rise up over it.
According to me, positivity is not being unrealistic. It is accepting what comes your way and always knowing that there is a silver lining behind every cloud, more so in the occurance of a tragedy.
Belief in oneself is what I consider to be the first step towards being a positive person, as believing in one's self is learning to love one's self with all the flaws. If you find it hard it hard to love and respect yourself, it will be harder to love and respect another. When ou believe you can - YOU CAN, simply putting it, if you believe you can win the war that's half the battle won or the placebo effect where you believe the sugar pill (made to look like medicine) will cure you, it actually does. So basically it all starts in the head, when you belive that things can happen, when your capable of seeing the good in others, when you are able to bring yourself and others to belive in the right, that's when things will go your way (never forgetting that there will always be problems enroute your destination)-is what I define "Being Positive" as.
Positivity also runs in our blood or else why would we have blood groups such as A+, B+, AB+ or O+? Yes, yes, we also have their negatives but again remember, it is all in the head - if you think so, then so shall it be !! Ans since positivity runs in my blood, I make sure to tell everyone " A, B+ (positive) ok.."
