Positivity: On The Right Track

It is good to learn when you are on the right track.

When you have been working on a project, no matter if it is work related, personal or somewhere in between, there is nothing more positive than learning you are doing it right.

There are so many things we strive to do every day. Some are ludicrously simple, while others are difficult and time consuming. But when we are hard at work on a given thing, and we are shown that the process we are working with is right, this makes for amazing positivity.

Everyone likes positive affirmations. We all love to find that we are doing things that we are doing right, well, and/or correct. There is reassurance, there is the knowledge that the effort being expended is in no way in vain.

Who tells you if you are right or not? You may read something that shows you the process you are working with is correct, you may have a peer or family member point out the rightness of your effort. But most importantly, you yourself realize that you are on the right track, and that you are getting fulfillment from whatever thing it is that you are at work upon.

We all have things that we are doing. We all have projects we are at work upon for various reasons and in various ways. We all have things that occupy our time, sometimes long-term and sometimes short-term. These things can be done endlessly, these things can be done by need or desire, but doing the work on these things and learning they are being done right makes them all the better.

I recognize that this is an extremely vague concept. What is the ‘thing’? How do you quantify being on the ‘right track’? What determines this? The simplest answer I can give is this: you gain the acknowledgment of the notion that you are doing what you are doing in a right and positive way. This is not thought, this is emotion. You feel right, you feel good, and thus you feel positive.

For example, let’s say you have a work assignment consuming much of your time. When you learn that you are doing that assignment right, and that you are heading for the desired conclusion, and you are given certain assurance that this is so, you gain that sense of being on the right track.

It really is a matter of assurance and acknowledgment.

Finding positivity is not hard, it just requires action. Knowing that we are on the right track with a given project provides assurance and the realization that our work is not for naught. When we know we are on the right track, the positive feeling this provides can give us focus on 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.
