“We can bring positive energy into our
daily lives by smiling more, talking to strangers in line, replacing handshakes
with hugs, and calling our friends just to tell them we love them.” ―Brandon
Jenner
Recently my son talked about a
negative experience he had with one of my relatives. I asked him the reason for
remembering the negative experience when the same relative did so many good things
to him since childhood. He had no clue. I told him that we must not remember negative
events; forgive the individuals who harmed us; and forget negative events
forever. Life is very short and we must know how to make it sweet. There is no
room for ill-will and hatred against others. We must have a big heart to
forgive people and forget negative events to provide meaning to our lives.
I found many people often talking
about their bad experiences rather than good experiences. I thought to blog on
it by doing some research so that it helps people look at the positive aspects
in others ignoring the negative ones.
There are some people who broke their precious
relations due to silly reasons. We find married couple getting divorced due to
their ego clashes, miscommunication, and negative experiences. Why don’t they
look at the positive aspects of an individual? Every Individual has both
strengths and weaknesses. Why should we focus on negative aspects of a
personality? Why shouldn’t we focus on the positive aspects of a personality?
Human mind captures negative aspects
quicker than the positive ones. When we view films, lots of violence and sex is
shown, and people absorb such things faster than the positive ones. Hence, film
makers and script writers bombard with negativity to reach out to audiences quickly. It is not easy to erase negative events
quickly as research shows that for every one negative comment, you’ll need to
ensure three to five positive comments.
No person is entirely good and bad.
Every person has both good and bad qualities. We must look at the positive side
of an individual to build relations. We must strive to build bridges, not
barriers. We can build a better world with love, peace and harmony; when we see
positive aspects in others. Remember, we are united by similarity, separated by
differences.
There are several conflicts globally
in the name of region, religion, caste, creed, ethnicity, and language because
people see the negative aspects in others than the positive ones. There must be
change in the mindset and attitude of the people to build a better world. We
must look at the door that is opened, not the closed one. We must look at the rising
sun, not the setting sun to create a world which is full of hope and optimism.
“When you show deep empathy toward
others, their defensive energy goes down, and positive energy replaces it.
That's when you can get more creative in solving problems.” ―Stephen Covey
