Is positive thinking always important?
Positivity is a challenge. It’s challenging because positivity is like a locked tool within our personality. It doesn't just come out on its own; it needs to be unlocked. But how do we unlock it? The process isn't simple, but it's not impossible either. To access the tool of positivity, especially in tough times, you need to shift your mindset.
Imagine this: You’re sitting on a bench under a tree, waiting for a bus to take you home—a home filled with all the comforts you desire, like peace, love, family, and a sense of belonging. As you wait under the tree, some birds come and start dropping messes on you. It’s unpleasant, but you also notice that when you’re hungry, you can reach up and pick some fruit from the tree to eat. When you get tired, you can lay down on the bench and enjoy the cool breeze. This waiting period is full of ups and downs—sometimes the birds annoy you, sometimes you find nourishment, and sometimes you just rest. Though it might feel like a long wait, it’s only temporary, and eventually, the bus arrives to take you to your comfortable, loving home.
The moral of the story is this: The tree represents life itself. The bird droppings are like the negative experiences, harsh words, and difficulties we face along the way. The fruit, the shade, and the ability to rest on the bench are the small comforts that life offers us. What matters is how you respond when things go wrong. When the birds mess up your day, you don’t retaliate—you can’t respond the same way the birds do. Instead, you focus on the bigger picture, on your final destination, knowing that these temporary difficulties will pass.
In this metaphor, your home is the ultimate goal, the place of peace and comfort that represents paradise. The bird droppings symbolize the challenges and negativity we encounter in life. By not letting them drag you down, by not reacting with negativity, you stay focused on reaching your final destination. This is the essence of positivity.
Positivity is not just about ignoring the bad things that happen; it’s about understanding that challenges are temporary and that something better is always on the horizon. It’s about maintaining a mindset that looks forward to the good things to come, no matter how difficult the present may seem. When you face negativity, think about this story. Use it to unlock the tool of positivity within you, and make it a permanent part of your personality. By doing so, you can navigate through life’s challenges with a positive outlook, always keeping your eyes on the future and the comfort that awaits.
