One of the biggest misguided motivations I feel we use is the mantra of ‘Positivity’.
I have experienced and seen enough to confidently suggest that choosing to be positive is only a temporary fix. And the key word here is 'choosing'. Yes, at times it can indeed help to be more positive, but this isn't exactly the answer!
Stick with me here, ok! If being positive is your answer, or how you best feel motivated to overcome your ego, do it, don't let this stop you! I am by no means suggesting you 'choose' to be negative over being positive, I am merely providing you with an alternative that will likely lessen your suffering and assist with the healing process. So ask yourself this, "Would you not rather use honesty as your guide, allowing for true organic positivity to manifest?"
So let's say you are a positive person, do you still at times feel drained, unworthy, under appreciated or even lacking? Maybe just like any other negative person you know! There is no judgement from me here. I have and still have these types of emotions and they are important in helping us identify what the soul really needs us to heal. Either way, do as I have done, ask yourself Why? Why do I still feel like this, must there not be something more, a place where the heaviness of these emotions no longer need to be a teacher in the form of suffering?
I have learnt far more from negative suffering than from being a positive person. And believe me, I am not boasting about this, I really do wish there would have been an easier way or at least an alternative that allowed me the ability to rise above the negativity more often (but honestly at the time, I knew no other way).
Rest assured, as your awareness increases, you organically start creating and attracting more abundant experiences where pure positivity begins to flow the way it was intended.
From my experience, I believe whilst we aren't meant to suffer, we are still progressively choosing suffering as the method to help us growth. I do however believe that there is or at least was a time (if in the past, meaning we can return to this state) where we chose an alternative to suffering as a teacher, but somehow lost the knowledge of how to do it.
Let's clear the air here a little. I want to make mention that I never specifically choose or chose to suffer when I make a decision (maybe from a deep seeded unconscious level I did/or do, but not because I actually enjoy the pain of suffering). Sometimes it really is just a force of 'habit' and often requires a deep level of spiritual patience to see through the current cycle which ultimately must happen whether the physical form likes it or not. It is important to note that what you may class as a negative experience, might not be what the next person sees it as, and vise versa.
So how do I know if I am still choosing positivity as a form of suffering? Well ask yourself this,
"Am I being positive just for the sake of being positive? Or am I using it purely to prevent the uncovering of something more painful?
From my own experience using positivity to mask inner pain Is as harsh a teacher as anything else, and will likely lead to suffering anyway.
So the next time you're interacting with someone or even just being aware how you’ve reacted in the past, ask yourself, Am I or did I react because that’s who I truly am, or because I am magnetising a lesson from this experience?
So what is the answer or the alternative to positivity? Well that's easy (at least now because I know) it's self-Power!
Power is the alternative tool to both positive and negative suffering that will allow you to organically manifest more pure positive experiences, without the need for effort!
Effortless positivity really is the icing on the cake! And like nothing you will ever experience.
It is important to remember, that if another person chooses to suffer, in whatever form necessary, non judgement on your behalf is essential. Both to yourself and to whoever may be involved in the experience.
Remember, an experience of another doesn’t need to be yours! The best way you can help someone else, is to position yourself in the highest, most ruthless level of honesty you know how. It is far more important that you remain idle with love and compassion, than to engage with an underlying egoic desire to control.
Understand - Taking the higher ground; doesn't mean doing what is 'right', rather 'holding yourself accountable by honouring your highest level of honesty'.
By choosing 'Power' you will self redefine the positivity you once knew. This new found positivity now becomes organically fuelled by unconditional love. Love not only for another ‘being’ but most importantly, YOU!
So what are the take outs;
1. Be Honest, #honesty is the key!
2. If you are choosing to #suffer, only you can pull yourself out of it, but try using your self #power instead of just positivity.
3. Being #positive is just that, trying to be something. Stop trying and start being the most powerful version of yourself!
4. Power is and will alway be the alternative you seek.
