Why Positive Thinking Doesn't Work

There's one really big problem with trying.

To think positive, and I'm going to.

Show you what it is. See, this is clean water. And this represents how you're born perfect. No flaws, a clean slate. But then life happens. We're told how we have to fit in. We're told what we're supposed to do, what's not acceptable, what society wants. Some people get told that they're stupid. They get told that they're fat. They get told that they're not enough. We have some failed relationships. We go on Instagram and we compare ourselves with other people. We see the advertisements and realize that we're not as good as the photoshopped photos. And what happens? We become negative and we start having negative self talk.

So not only is there negativity outside.

Of you, but the negative self talk is now negativity inside of you. Life happens. It's impossible to go through life without getting some scars. But then we hear that we should think positive.

And that's like taking a little bit of clean water and pouring it in. It makes it a little bit more clear, but it doesn't make the negativity go away. And at this point is where most people give up. They say that positive thinking doesn't work. Well, if you go at it this way, of course it doesn't work. But then there's some people that try a little bit more positive thinking.

And.

They take more water and they pour it in and it becomes a little.

Bit more clear and a little bit more clear, but it's still dirty.

But then you have to realize that.

This is how you have to be. You have to search for the positive things in your life. You have to find the things to be grateful for, the things to be happy about. You have to be intentional about creating positive relationships in an environment in your life that's positive. Because thinking positive isn't something that that you do sometimes. It's something that you have to do all of the time. You have to be proactive about it. You have to realize that the world is inherently negative. And you have to be intentional every day about filling yourself with positivity. And if we do, this is what our mind will become.

It'll start to become a little bit more clear and a little bit more clear and a little bit more clear.

Because, see, positive thinking isn't something that you do sometimes, it's something that you have to do all the time.
