I will admit I am not all that a fan of positive/motivational/inspirational quotes. While good intentioned, those positive one liner quotes really don't work for me. I just pass them off if I hear them. But they I guess might work for some people.
"Oh, just think happy thoughts"
"Accent the positive" (or something to that effect)
"Don't think of the negative things in your life but the positive things"
"I know how you feel" (at funerals)
I really don't know life at all. But I really believe we are entitled to our feelings. Negative or positive as the choice may be. They are your feelings. For the life of me, I just can't tell anybody what, how or one should to really feel about anything. I just don't know. We live with our own feeling and inner demons 24/7. I know I do. One cannot just can't just transfer them off to somebody else. One lives with their feeling and inner way of coping. Listening and understanding is mainly what I can offer to my long time and not so long time friends. By listening and in conversation with others I can sometime find some glimmer hope in myself. For there are times when I'm just hopeless.
As for me, as long as I can remember, I never just focus on the positive side of my life. I just don't see it. All I see what crumbles next. What new doom lies before me and at my door front. Its has been always difficult me to simply ignore all the disappointments, tragedy, and personal problems and upheavals in my life. I've collected a far many thorns than I can remember. Too many it no longer hurts me. Just leave me completely numb. It very difficult for me to see a way out. Only a continued way into nothingness. But for there go I, due effort must be made to overcome and suppress them if only not for a only little while. How have I continue to go on for so long is beyond me. I have come to the conclusion, its embracing the darkness toward the within that I'm here now and still breathing.
