Positivity: Compassion Overcomes Fear
Compassion overcomes fear.
Following the results of last week’s election, a lot of people have become fearful for the future. It is certainly understandable why, given the overall uncertainty and emboldened hate groups.
But it has also shown how compassionate, loving and dependable people can be.
I have witnessed numerous people pledge to stand by those who most feel under threat. I have seen countless examples of people offering to stand up and keep friends and loved ones safe and secure.
In the face of so much negativity, this is a much-needed dose of positivity.
Compassion for those who are afraid and reassurance that they will never be alone is massive positivity. This is more powerful than the hate it stands against, and it is stronger than the fear both being used and felt by too many.
If we let the fear overwhelm us, we will find it impossible to overcome. We need to support one another. We need to be compassionate towards those who feel threatened and to work together with one another. Working together will show those peddling hate and extremism and bigotry and racism and all this vast negativity that they will NOT disempower us.
Together, we are stronger than any group of small minded individuals, yearning for a world that never actually existed at all. We are a nation of incredible diversity, be it in skin colors, points of origin, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or what-have-you.
Those who have sought to divide and conquer cannot stand up to a united front. When we are compassionate towards one another, when we work together through any differences we have, we can create positivity that will overcome the negativity, and we will have nothing to fear.
Fear is only as powerful as we let it be. Compassion is greater, stronger than fear. Let’s use our compassion for one another and let that be the strength to build positivity to strive to make the world a better place, and keep the light shining to stave off the darkness.
Compassion is a force of positivity, and far more powerful than fear.
Finding positivity is not hard, it just requires action. Knowing that our compassion for one another is more powerful than the hate people have for those who are different, we can work together to overcome the fear they monger. When we come together, and compassionately work with one another to overcome that fear, we empower each other and 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.
