Don´t say it, do it!

“Be positive, be positive…”

Probably, each one´s reaction when opening a newspaper these days is very different, but I may not be wrong saying that at least once, we all have had the same thought: What the hell is wrong with the world??!

It seems increasingly hard to be positive these days; we look around and we only fancy going to bed and not getting up. It´s not weird that there have never been so many adverts and recommendations about how profitable positivism is than now; almost every week we can read a scientific article that tells us about the effects of positivism and negativism on our working output, our relationships or even our physical health. And it´s true! Many studies have proved that our emotional state or the way we see ourselves and our life can affect us more than our diet or the place we live in. We can even increase our problems just by having a negative point of view to them.

We live in a society that worries so much about eating healthy, doing exercise and being well-prepared to face the incredible competitiveness; we want to be happy and get as much as we can. But none of these matter if we don´t have the attitude to do it. It´s very easy to complain and say “I would love to do that”, but the hard thing is not to start it –as you can think-, but falling down and trying again. And that´s only possible with a positive and decisive personality... today more than ever.

Contradictorily, some of the humanity´s biggest achievements were got in the hardest moments and with the fewest facilities, but it´s been proved that, the more difficult it is, the better we do, because it is then when we realize how strong we really are. Maybe it´s not so contradictory after all…  

Like someone said once, “life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain”. Now, more than ever, do it!
