Is it a bad idea to always think positive when bad shyt is happening around you?

[Malik1time]

I’m always known to stay positive and only think that good days are coming but yet shyt always happen in my life like theirs always a new challenge I have to overcome it’s tireing at times....everyday I continue to have thoughts my time will come blah blah am I being naive/ putting up false hope in the universe or am I on the right path

Your perspective is all in your perception, life is a roller coaster of ups and down, you never get too high you never get too low, doesn’t mean if you think positive shyt will change but you will be more in a mind frame to change what’s going on around you

Chappelle has a good take on this.



Sometimes you’re in a funk and it’s ok to accept that. Trying to go against your feelings is dumb, but you shouldn’t allow your emotions to dictate your actions.

Positive thinking is not meant for you to be naïve, it's staying positive while you are seeking/executing solutions.


If there's weeds growing in your yard, you don't practice positive thinking by lying to yourself and telling yourself that there are no weeds.

You acknowledge the weeds, then stay positive while you are pulling the weeds out of the ground in order to make your yard look beautiful again
