Why It's Not Always Possible To Be Positive

By Evan Sanders


It's not always possible to be positive.

Being positive all of the time isn't realistic because life is incredibly balanced. Life gives us a dose of negative to really help us appreciate the positives.

To be truly positive you have to be willing to suffer through the negatives. You have to be willing to fight through the dark times in order to see the light. Carl Jung once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow." That statement couldn't be any truer.

On the journey of self discovery, everyone is interested in making a mark in this world and adding value to other peoples lives. But in order to truly become the greatest individual we can, we must spend time exiting through the challenges of life.

For years I've been willing to pull a lesson or learning point out of even the worst situations to help provoke thought in others. But what I'd like to share with you is that I am not always positive. Actually I don't ever force myself to be because that only creates inauthenticity.

We all go through tough times and dark moments. We all suffer and we are all challenged by life. That is what makes each of us similar to one another. But if we can continue to put our hearts on the line and breathe into those challenges, we will always be ok.

So if you can, try to find something positive in the negative. But you don't have to fake that everything is okay and that you are okay. You don't have to pretend that everything is awesome and fun when it's not.

Throughout the years, I've been taught to express these things through my art and pour myself out through my writing and I'm so lucky to have that. So if you're struggling, just know, I struggle too.

Continue going through the struggle because it will give you access to deep amounts of love.
