Live what you love

You can hate a person just by looking at her/him: the hair, the smile, the look, the clothes. Anything can trigger negative feelings. You just have to go with that flow and any proof that person is not horrible will have no influence on you.

I don’t know if we could say a good thing about every person we’ve met so far, maybe they haven’t impressed us in a positive way, but we can most certainly bitch about all of them. There must have been something to annoy us at one point. It’s only human! For every nice gesture and person who smiled thanks to you, there is an unhappy person, someone who feels neglected or discriminated against.

It’s human to be annoyed, but above that, I think it’s human to be hateable (being available for hate).

We are hateable with every gesture, every choice we make and tear we drop. Because all these are movements on a map filled with people and, inevitably, when we go one way we get closer to some and estrange from others. We are, in essence, controversial.

Some are more controversial than others, true. It depends on how far we move from the center of the map or, in other words, how extremist we are. And how much we show of our personality we show to others. But still, we are always lovable to some and hateable to others.

That’s the breakthrough. We’re both good and evil, pleasant and repulsive, smart and stupid. It only depends on where we’re standing when we’re judging. There is no black and white. And that’s why the big picture is important: we need to see the balance between the smiles and the tears someone provokes. And the reasons. The intentions. The more information we have, the better we see the tone of gray.

Anyway, we are hateable. That’s our most human trait. Every person stands for the things another one hates. That’s life.

I remember since my first schooling days, my dad always said “think positive”. But at that time, I just said a blind ‘yes’ without really any thought about it. But as time passes, it is no doubt that keeping a positive mind, and hence a positive though, will help you with good constructive and creative energy, will and motivation in whatever you do.

But to sustain positive thinking, is not always a simple task considering the pace with which life is going on. But once again, as my dad says, if you train yourself to think positive, you will find it as a faithful friend in your journey.

Act positive, think positive, smile positve, speak positive, perceive positive, dream positive, and then you would automatically become more positive.

It changed my life!
