Let us talk about,
How to be more positive.
Remember that positivity is never about,
Eliminating the negative.
You cannot experience bliss,
Without experiencing sadness.
So if you wish to experience light,
You must learn to embrace the darkness.
It is a tale that many have told,
And still continue to tell,
But only some understand,
And a few implement it well.
The message of that tale is,
That to create heaven,
We must learn to befriend hell.
It is all about learning the art of allowing,
You’ve got to allow the negativity,
To flow freely through you,
Only then you can learn positivity,
And know what it’s like to be happy.
People who are truly positive,
Are never devoid of grief and pain,
They just stop resisting the storms,
And learn to dance in the rain.
They welcome and live through,
The highs and the lows,
That’s how they get their strength,
To be joyous and grow.
Because life exists in a delicate balance,
Shedding the idea of all-time positivity,
And being real with yourself and others,
Is a global psychological challenge.
All of us break down sometimes,
Lose it all, get scared and cry,
That is completely normal,
As you have to learn to fall,
Before you learn to fly.
Some people may tell you,
That crying is abnormal,
But it only means that you have a heart,
Only the miserable and sick will tell you,
That emotions are not so smart.
Being positive is all about,
Acknowledging your weaknesses,
While taking care of yourself,
And knowing that it is okay to be vulnerable,
And it is okay to ask for help.
To learn to slow down,
And take a pause from time to time,
Helps you be more positive,
Sometimes you just got to take a breath,
This fast-paced world can dim your shine.
You will be more positive,
If you are brave enough to say NO,
When deep inside, you want to say so.
And say YES to what you truly want,
Regardless of others’ hopes and demands.
It is okay to back off,
Disappoint people sometimes,
Or to cancel a commitment,
You don’t have to answer that call,
You don’t have to do it all,
Guarding your energy is important.
Pay attention to your instincts,
And what they are telling you,
That is how you learn to be more positive,
Shut the noise coming from the masses,
Know that the wise ones are very few.
Being positive means,
To cherish, love and save yourself first,
And know that it is okay to make mistakes,
You cannot help others unless and until,
You learn to be self-compassionate.
Learning to blossom into positivity,
Is a beautiful lifelong journey,
You can heal yourself and other beings,
With your infinite positive energy.
And there are endless ways to achieve this,
All you need for this noble quest,
Is a strong will and consistent practice.
So start small and keep trying,
And ask yourself this every day,
“What is the one positive thing I’ve done today?”
