Looking At The Good Side Of Life

in WORLD OF XPILARyesterday

Some people may say that everything may not be good, but the truth is that there is good in everything. It is the side of life that you choose to focus on that will determine what you will take out of life. One of the things that can transform the life of someone is when they learn to see the good things that life has to offer. It is true that you may not have had everything that you wished for in life; of course life does not play by your rules, but at least there are good things that life has offered to you. Whatever you have now and wherever you are at the moment, always try to see good in everything and that includes life itself.

It is sad that in the world of today, a lot of people are quick to look at the negative happenings in life while turning their focus from the good that is happening in life. Something good may be happening to someone and they will talk very little about it and may not even recognise it, yet at the sight of slight discomfort from life, they will begin to feel terribly sad at how life is going, but they forget how blessed they are. If you focus on only the flip side of life, you will put yourself in a state of continuous sadness, but if you see good in everything, you will have hope in life.

Why some people give up on life is because they think that life is not fair to them and they only focus on the negative side of life, so they will not see what to live for. But if you see good in life, you will have what to live for. No matter what is happening to you, if you will look beyond what you see, you will understand that a lot of good things are masked inside the same scenario that does not look too good. You have to understand that having a positive view about life does not mean ignoring the fact that there may be challenges, but it makes you to know that there is still good inside in them, which you need to recognise, value, and be grateful for.

Gratitude is actually a product of looking at the good side of life. How you see life will determine if you will be grateful or not. If you look at the negative side of what is happening, it will becloud your mind from seeing the good side and you will grow with ingratitude. But if you have your dominant attention on the good side of what is happening, then you will see a lot of reasons to be grateful for life and for many other things. If you think that life is not fair to you, may I remind you that there are lots of people who you are better than. Your kind of life is what a lot of people wish to have, so be grateful for it.

There are things to help you to focus on the good side of life and we shall take a look at them. The first one is your practice of mindfulness. This means your ability to be present in the present and then welcome each moment as it comes. Clear your minds from the worries of what the future will bring and also remove the regrets of how the past was, and focus more on what the present moment brings. This way, you will be more enthusiastic about life and then focus more on the good things that life will bring. There are many things to focus on in the present moment than being bothered about the future or the past.

Another thing to help you to focus more on the good things of life is to also form good relationship with people doing the same. Who you stay with often will expose you to their pattern of thinking and before you know it, you will begin to think and see things like them. To have a positive disposition to life, you have to be in the company of the people who also have positive disposition to life. Your company has a way of affecting how you see life. Anyone that will always complain about life and say negative things about just everything should not be your friend. Otherwise, before you know it, you will join them in their ways of seeing negative things about life. You should rather be with people who will help you to see good in everything.

Peace on y'all
