Positivity: The Fuel of Life

It’s funny how the simple things we enjoy in Life, resemble Life itself.

Most of us experienced hiking in a beautiful sunny day. Prepared down to the last detail the day before, backpack full of supplies, nothing can spoil that beautiful morning. And in the first 15 minutes of walk, a large boulder blocks the way. That’s the end of the journey, you will never see the breathtaking landscapes and views lying ahead......You bow your head, turn around, time to get back home..... Or maybe not?

You see, positivity is not just a word, it’s a spark. Without it every obstacle seems unfair, every challenge seems insurmountable. Without it, it is so natural to quit. “I tried....”.

No you didn’t. Because you lost focus of your journey. You lost the image of those breathtaking landscapes and views. Positivity is the spark that will open so many options. Like the branches of a tree, you realize there are so many ways to bypass the obstacle. Your will to continue your journey is more powerful than any boulder, any river, any fall.

I faced many boulders in my life. My failure to get my English language certificate, that was imperative if I wanted to study my Master’s Degree in London, blocked my way. I remained positive because I wanted to experience that journey. I failed my English exam 3 times, never got the certificate. I remained positive, I would find the way. And I did.

Positivity is energy. Let me rephrase. Positivity is leaving your soul open to energy.

Prayer is the invitation of that energy in you. You want to bypass the boulder but by the laws of nature you are too weak. You are never weak. Leave your soul open, smile and God will show you the right way. Because there is never just one way to proceed, to do things. There are so many options, but your mind is clouded when you bow your head and turn around. Face the obstacle and smile. Smile because you KNOW that nothing can keep you from seeing the breathtaking landscapes and views lying ahead.
