The idea of owning land, and facebook likes, are possible thanks to the approval of others. If you hate on facebook because of likes specifically, consider that it's just one of those things, part of our nature. We've been seeking the approval of other people for as long as society has been around. How round about! If the goal is happiness, and happiness literally comes from within, then why do we make such an effort at externalizing the path?
Well there are a number of reasons, and even more per individual. Happiness is internal, but imagine how inconvenient it would be to just sit still and look inward for happiness 100% of the time. I meditate frequently and am in no way trying to discredit meditation. Im just saying there are obvious reasons why we do what we do, instead of sitting in silence.
The point is to be aware of these things, and explore them to our benefit. If we're trying to be happy, then we gotta pursue the positives. That means seeing the bright side to negatives! Because negatives are going to happen, and it would be cool to know how to deal with. Think about your behavior, relative to a negative situation. How do you handle it? What do you do? Is your instinct to combat the negativity in some way, or reject it? Well try to fight that instinct and focus on accepting what's happening instead. Only after you accept reality, can you change reality!
Root yourself into the moment of negativity, and explore it as if it were a tool. Or a set of weights! However you can attribute the negativity to interface and strengthen your positivity, DO IT FOR SURE! Patience, honesty, and healthy brain jive - these are some of the results to making negativity your bitch. And if you find yourself overwhelmed during or after a moment of negativity, just breathe, shut up, breathe more, and understand that it will pass. I love you
