You can't always be positive. In reality if you were positive all of the time, how could people really accept the validity of your character? They couldn't.
Life is wonderfully balanced. So to be truly positive you have to experience serious negatives as well. That's simply the way in which the world works. As Carl Jung once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow." I think that really applies here as well.
In my life, I try and keep my writing pretty positive and hopeful because I am out in this world to help a lot of people love extraordinarily and possibly, just maybe, something I talk about in depth will help someone bring some light into their heart. For years I've been willing to pull a lesson or learning point out of even the worst situations to help inspire others. But what I want to share with you is that I am not necessarily positive. In fact, I don't ever force myself to be because that only creates inauthenticity.
I have very dark moments and days at certain times. In fact, the more and more I love with everything I have, the more profoundly I feel pain, hurt, loss, and everything else that may make your hands shake when it comes round. I feel those things now more than I ever have previously. The softening of a cold heart many years ago ago has exposed it to be exposed, exposed, and gives it the capacity to feel everything intensely.
So frequently, writing something that's upbeat, is really me fighting as firmly as I can to keep a positive outlook on life. In truth, some days are a lot harder than others. Some days, I feel a bit like I can just barely breath.
Over the years, I have learned to express these things through my art and pour myself out through my writing and I really am so fortunate to have that. So if you are suffering, just know, I struggle too.
I struggle hard. And with all that, I love hard.
