Life Is Not Always Good. And That’s a Good Thing

A little negativity can make you see the beauty with other eyes

Life can sometimes have negativity in it. You are experienced, I’m doing it, and that movie star that you secretly love, is doing it.

“The desire for more positive experience is itself a negative experience. And, paradoxically, the acceptance of one’s negative experience is itself a positive experience. (p.9)” ― Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

Imagine having the possibility to learn something from a bad experience but not doing it, because you search only for the positive aspect of life. Unfortunately, there are people who do this on regular basis and they go through life hiding from that.

You don’t want to hide. You are eager to learn from your mistakes and the negativity that surrounds you to get to the other side with a more complex understanding of life.

I’ve buried lots of bad experiences and negativity in general throughout my life, in hopes that everything will go away. And I forget sometimes that I need those exact experiences because that will help me grow.

I want that for you, too.

Negativity is part of life. You can’t escape it and you can’t outrun it. Instead, you need to embrace it and make something more from it. Remodel it so that every piece of it can be perfect for the person you are.

Embrace everything that life throws at you and be majestic about it. Perfection is not something you want, because if we're perfect, guess what? We‘d all be mediocre.

So take your imperfection and parade with it, be proud of it, and welcome it because that’s what made you unique.
