This is why the “positive thinking’ movement is so ridiculous! For every positive thought you “think” you control – there’s a negative thought that’s going to come sneaking into your brain. And because you put so much value on “positive thinking” you also put an equal amount of value on “negative thinking”.
IN OTHER WORDS – YOU’RE STUCK THINKING – PERIOD!! And your silly concepts on trying to keep it positive is KEEPING YOU NEGATIVE MOST OF THE TIME.
There is this huge picture I used to keep on the wall near my desk of an EAGLE looking straight at me and the caption said: I AM smiling.
That’s what all this positive nonsense is all about, appearances. Your face is smiling and your insides are going crazy and your mind is filled with thoughts upon thoughts upon thoughts, trying to THINK yourself positive.
If you want to be happy, If you want to be Free, If you want to be real, If you want to offer something genuine to humanity, you’ll give UP THIS PHONY POSITIVE ATTITUDE and accept Yourself and others exactly as you/they are – NEGATIVITY AND ALL – AND Be HAPPY WITH YOUR POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE THOUGHTS.
And finally realize that LIFE ITSELF is comprised of opposites Good & Bad and you can’t have one without the other. (isn’t that a song?) If you relax about all these concepts, you will find that you are NATURALLY AT PEACE…which equates into being more positive, happier and having more to offer your family, friends, and the rest of the world….
Be positive or negative and have some FUN! Be Mischievous! BE NATURAL..LET ALL THOUGHTS come and go back to the ether where they originate…you BE HAPPY and NOT so obsessed with your thoughts!!!!!!!

This strikes at the heart of the “Happier than Thou” movement. How cruel of you! I pay my “Life Coach” lots of money to give me a desperate new positive affirmation every day. Now I can save lots of money by just accepting my misery as another uproariously funny part of my melodrama~! Thanks.

Trying to pretend is to no avail at all, when sad, angry, we have to become the sadness. Not try to get rid of it. It means a accepting it and often accepting we can’t accept. Sigh. Lol
