There are so many things to be excited about in this world! The biggest and best excuse not to be is that one is overwhelmed with all of them. At times we do get down on ourselves and lose the passion due to the need to critique. While critical thinking must be done, loathing and apathy does not have to be the tone with which one approaches that critique with. If it does, it leads to flawed judgment. A big solution is to notice when you’re not up. A natural and highest self is one of passion.
For every low there has to be a high, otherwise there would be not scale and it would simple be normal. When we find ourselves down, chemicals have already drawn into the shitty side of the tracks. Training ourselves around that is key. If our thoughts are broke then change our feeling set. If our feelings are broke then change the thoughts backing them up. There is a flaw in being steadily unhappy as happiness comes from meaning and success. The point of things is success and meaning. While down emotions are important to feel, recognize, and there to accept and learn about failures their main purpose is to redirect a person BACK towards success. Recognize that never is a pained state your natural state but an alarm system and then taken the wrong way. You are supposed to be happy and you get to be. Just gotta work it right.
There are so many things you could be doing, right the fuck now!!! There is music you love which you could learn how to play or get involved with producing and putting on shows. There is art being made who wants more artists and people to help spread it. There is science being learned and changing the way we understand this world. Diseases are being cured! Cultures of millennia differences are coming to learn about each other and it’s adorable while being fascinating! Jobs exist where people are having fun, shit you love to do and see has people getting paid to make it work! People are learning how to love and understand each other better! Every euphoria you have experienced or fantasized about is coming to fruition for others and on its way to you, that road could have you helping path the way!
There is something great going on out there and no matter what is holding you back, that great win is bigger and more important than the punishment. This is the essential truth that propels a person forward once they discover it. No matter how bad you feel, you know it to be true in the long run and end game calculations.
