The Value Of Seeing The Good In Everything

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
― Winston Churchill
Positivity is probably the best value that a person can embody. Staying positive and striving to see the good in everything is not always easy, but it is the best way to live for several reasons. When you determine within yourself to see the good instead of the bad and look at difficulties as opportunities, then you automatically increase your probability for success. Being willing to see the good in anything equips you to overcome your own negative responses and ‘frees’ you to think more logically.
Being a more positive person will also increase your own peace and serenity. Feelings of frustration, anger, hatred, resentment, and judgment will never make you feel good. These feelings will sap your energy, drain your creativity, and make you a less desirable person to be around. But if you can think and act with compassion, forgiveness, empathy, encouragement, friendship, and with good intentions, you will be seen as a ‘bright light’ in a world that often seems very dark and dreary.
How can you be a more positive person?
Being a positive person doesn’t happen by accident. In fact, it is sometimes very difficult to do… but it is completely worth it! Here are some quick tips that can help to eliminate negativity and highlight positive thinking.
1… Stop talking badly about people
Talking badly about people is very negative. Even though they may never hear it, you will still be affected by it. It fills you with bad vibes and causes you to adopt a more ‘jaded’ view of people around you.
2… Don’t be judgmental
Everyone is different, but that does not mean that you are better or worse than someone else. Judging people for being different from you in a negative light is very bad for your overall state of well-being. We should try to accept those around us and strive to treat them as well as we can.
3… Smile often
It is often forgotten that a smile can make a huge difference. It can brighten someone’s day, cheer them up, encourage them, and uplift them… but it also does wonders for the person wearing it. Smiling conveys positivity, peacefulness, and the fact that you value the person whom you are smiling at.
At the end of the day, being positive is a choice… but it is a healthy choice that might be even better for you than it is for anyone else!
