Positivity Wins the Long-term, Negativity Wins the Short-term.  Which Are You Choosing?



In life you need to be able to decide and make a decision on where you want your perspective to be, you have a choice as to how you deal with your perspective and whether you can make that positive or negative. Changing your perspective on how you see things is a very key element in maintaining your happiness and being in a state in which you can improve and learn things without having your emotions or feelings hurt.

Even though sometimes using positivity is the most difficult thing to do in that moment, depending on the situation that you are in if you are able to do it will find yourself in the much better place. Whereas, if you're constantly being negative and adding to your situations with more negativity you will find that they're not really going to get any better and without taking action upon them you do not do anything about them apart from dwell on how bad they are.

If you are able to switch your perspective from negative to positive you will quickly notice that your life changes and your mental state of mind also changes to a more bright and happy place but you would much rather be in there, than being negative.

It may be hard to accept but the choices that you make are in your own mind up in you can decide whether you want to be positive or negative about something regardless of what the situation is, you can look at something from a positive light you can also look at something from a negative light but using the positive one will always work out in the long term and that is what you want to be aiming for even though it may be difficult.

I have mixed opinions on this because positivity is subjective. What might appear positive to one might appear negative to other. Here's where intuition comes into play and we start to have different perspectives.

What d'you think?

That is true, but then that person who sees it as negative can change it to a different perspective that they may see as positive ;) There can be multiple different perspectives for one thing that suit different people.
