Stop trying to be positive all the time from "summary" of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
Stop trying to be positive all the time. It's a familiar message, one that we hear often in self-help books and motivational speeches. But what does it really mean? It doesn't mean that you should be negative all the time either. It means that you should stop forcing yourself to feel a certain way, whether that's positive or negative. When we try to be positive all the time, we put pressure on ourselves to always look on the bright side, to always find the silver lining. But life is not always sunshine and rainbows. There are times when things are tough, when we feel sad, angry, or frustrated. And that's okay. It's okay to feel those things. In fact, it's healthy. By trying to be positive all the time, we deny ourselves the opportunity to truly experience our emotions. We push them down, ignore them, pretend they're not there. But they are there, lurking beneath the surface, waiting to be acknowledged. It's important to remember that being positive is not the same as being happy. Happiness is an emotion, a fleeting state of being. Positivity, on the other hand, is a mindset, a way of looking at the world. It's about accepting the good with the bad, embracing both the joys and the struggles of life. So stop trying to be positive all the time. Instead, allow yourself to feel whatever it is you're feeling. Embrace your emotions, both positive and negative. By doing so, you'll find a sense of peace and acceptance that goes far beyond the fleeting happiness that comes from trying to be positive all the time.
