Positivity: Run with it
Let it happen, or run with it.
Life is all about choices. We can choose to accept life as it comes, or we can do our best to empower ourselves and take control over it.
When we are inundated by the big pictures of our world, it can be a rather depressing place. So much anger, so much hatred, so very much fear. We are soaked within it, and expected to shake our heads sadly and wonder what, if anything, we can do.
We can choose to empower ourselves, and we can run with it.
All too often we allow ourselves to be products of our environment. We allow random and varied media to tell us what race, color, creed, religion, gender, wealth bracket and other places we belong in. We work because we have to have shelter and food and other essentials, not to mention conveniences like computers and tablets and smartphones.
Still, we have choices. We can choose to let life live us, or we can take control and work on living life for ourselves.
I know a lot of people who had a lousy 2015 for any number of reasons. Rather than simply hoping that 2016 will be better, we need to take control, and we need to make our own way. We can let it happen, or run with it.
I want to run with it. I am taking actions with my life to get to the places I want to be, rather than just sitting back and letting it happen.
This can be challenging. Some days are harder than others. However that doesn’t lessen the choices I can make. It does not lessen my abilities to empower myself.
Being in control and running with it is hugely positive. Why? Because you are taking control and empowering yourself; you have the opportunity to choose whether to aim for the positive or to allow negativity to take charge.
I would much rather be the one figuring out what is right for me than to let anyone else out there do it. I would rather look for the positivity in this world rather than focus on the many negatives that are dominating our media feed. I want to reach the end of each day and not lament what has happened to me, but to celebrate what I have accomplished.
Let it just happen, or run with it. What would you prefer to do when it comes to finding and experiencing positivity?
Finding positivity is not hard, it just requires action. Knowing that you can choose to either let life happen or to run with it, you can choose to take action. When we act on what we want from our lives and we make choices to go forward we empower ourselves. When we feel empowered, we often spread that feeling to others around us, and as such can build more positive feelings. We can use the positive feelings this generates to dissolve negative feelings. When we take away negative feelings, we open up space to let in positive feelings, and that is something we can be grateful for. Gratitude leads to happiness. Happiness is the ultimate positive attitude. Positive attitude begets positive energy, and that is always a good thing.
