First of all I believe that a positive attitude is always to be preferred – in every situation. Secondly I believe that there is something positive to everything. And yes, I mean everything . This might seem foolish or silly, but try to look beyond that border for just a few minutes – because it might get inspirational ;)
Imagine you being fired from a lousy job – what a great opportunity to seek new ways.
Imagine you being fired from your dream-job – how good that you now have a lot of things to take with you in your bag. It is way easier to find a new job now, than if you didn’t have that dream-job in the first place!
Imagine your having no income the next 6 months – what a great test of your creativity! You might even find that you don’t even need half of the stuff you normally buy.
Imagine you getting kicked out of your home – again, what a neat opportunity to test your creativity and durability. You might end up losing the pounds that you with your dream-job could afford to eat your way to. Don’t lose hope!
Let’s ramp it up a little – don’t call my heartless now. I’m just trying to stay positive!
Imagine your parents die an unexpected death – what a great possibility to learn about how not giving up hope can completely change your life to the better.
Imagine your husband or wife dies – what a great opportunity to learn how to live with such a loss instead of getting depressed. Maybe you’ve learned a great lot of things to take with you to your next relationship.
Imagine your kids die (I nearly wept a tear there…) – I know that your children can’t be replaced, but now you’ve got the chance to start over. Build up a family again, but differently. And imagine all the freedom you have until you do.
I’m not saying that mourning and sorrow is wrong, because it isn’t. But I know that a lot of people tend to “over-mourn”, which can lead to great displeasure and doesn’t lead to any positive changes.
In one way, all life is about is failure à reflection à improvement à better life quality.
If you really try your hardest, you will find a little snitch of positive material in any situation!
It was never my intention to hurt anybody. I myself felt a huge anvil on my chest writing this, so I am very sorry if I caused some kind of sadness. I just wanted to share my way of thinking, and please do not misunderstand me :)

Love your life and have a very nice day!

Mind of Andy 
Inihsgts like this liven things up around here.
We have nothing to lose. To think that we do, is an illusion. “Stay hungry. Stay foolish”
I love your attitude.
Haha thank you :) And you’re totally right! Keep up the good thinking!
I like that you took an unconventional approach to the thought that through something very sad, an individual can leverage that experience to gain happiness and continue to grow.
Side note: I gotta be honest, I don’t know how your brain got so “tuned” into the world around you at 16 but I am excited for the way your take on it will inevitably pulse a more positive vibe though all you connect with…and that is pretty excellent. Keep it up Andy!
Thank you very much, You!
I’m smiling gratefully as i read the compromise :D
And an explanation to my brain might be that I was born with an aesthetic intelligence. Or that is what I have been told ;)
Thanks once again! :)
Reblogged this on Akwa's Blog and commented:
DUDE!! this is some deep shit! I’m loving it. I think the idea that any circumstance good or bad ALWAYS has a learning opportunity is the best way to eliminate depression, which is the main hindrance to growth (progress). More grease to your elbows brov ONE LOVE
Damn, I thought I had made a reply to your lovely comment :P
Thank you so much for the supprt, Akwae :) It means a lot!
Have a nice whatever it is in your timezone ;)
Hehe glad to hear that I’m not alone on this! :)
I would like to have a look at that story, so bring it on!
Keep on writing, Jennifer, and I hope that you don’t loose yourself! :)
You have a very similar pattern of thinking to myself :)
Sometimes it’s really hard to see life this way, and often times some pain-without-seeing-the-bright-side is essential after big losses or hard stresses, but then getting to the other side lets us see in retrospect that there was a bright side. There is a great ancient story about this that is popular in Buddhist thought, perhaps I’ll find it and come back and post it here :)
