POSITIVITY

Positivity is the practice of being or tendency to be positive or optimistic in attitude. Meaning, if you are positive about things, you are hopeful and confident, and think of the good aspects of a situation rather than the bad ones.

Sometimes, it feels like we are surrounded by negativity (negative people, thoughts, ideas) or maybe its just what we feed to ourselves and as a result we become as what we think.

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. We become what we think”- Buddha.

I think most of us give the right of approval of what we do in our lives to people. I mean, if they do not acknowledge to what you are currently doing, you get disappointed and start putting those negative thoughts into your head (maybe its not a good idea, maybe I messed up, maybe I am not qualified). These thoughts get into you and you loose the direction or the focus you had before and it gets WORSE, leading to INSECURITIES.

I believe in “the power of staying positive”, its not that easy to stay positive but it’s worth trying. Life gets easier when you stay positive. When you have an idea and you believe its dope, and then go for it. Do not start with the “BUTs”. Believe in yourself that you can walk through the fire and not be burned.

“It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to has power over you, if you allow it”

When I thought of having my own blog, I never cared of how people are going to say (or if my articles will suck). Turns out, I write other people’s thoughts, life experiences and it’s an amazing feeling. This happened due to the fact that I was positive with what I wanted to do, meaning I believed it would bring a positive feedback (touch people’s lives).

Well, some of you might be having legit ideas, and instead of going for those ideas, you just end up playing those negative conversations in your head like, “it’s a 3^rd W country, never works out”.

After I graduated my high school and decided to take psychology, some of my friends tried to put negative thoughts in my head. They were like, “Jacqueline, its not America, its Tanzania and that psychology stuff doesn’t work here”. But since I knew what I wanted, I STAYED POSITIVE and here I am living my dreams! So at the end of the day, it has to start from within.

Buddha, Aristotle once said, “How we think creates the energy that ultimately manifests our realities”

Y’all have to know that, if you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges. “DO NOT ALLOW NEGATIVE THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS TO DRAIN YOU OF YOUR ENERGY”
