There Doesn't Always Need To Be A Push For Positivity

By Evan Sanders


In truth, you can't always be positive.

Why? Because that's not really living an honest and balanced lifestyle. There is always a dose of negativity in our lives which balances out and helps us appreciate the good times.

As we continue to grow throughout life, we experience bigger and bigger challenges. Carl Jung, A famous psychologist once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow." This honestly couldn't be more true. As we experience the light more and more, it also gives us the capacity to experience the darkness. This is the balance of life.

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.

If we are willing to pull lessons out of the hardest times of life, we are going to give ourselves the chance to continue to grow no matter the circumstances. But life isn't always going to be positive. In fact, you don't want it to be positive all of the time.

Everyone has gone through dark moments. Everyone has suffered through the worst of the worst. We are all challenged throughout our lives and some moments are darker than others. But we all can rise. We call can get back up and continue loving despite being through unloving situations. We can all continue to put our hearts on the line even if we have had ours broken to pieces.

So yes, always look for the light in the dark, but you don't have to always push for positivity when it feels inauthentic to you. Some days are going to be very hard and make you want to cry. That's ok.

If we can express our emotions during these dark times, we are able to live an authentic life that truly makes an impact on others.

Living this way is real. Living this way is truly honest.
